June 16 - Mesa Verde, CO.

This is the Square Tower house which was built in A.D. 1200-1300.

Mesa Verde is at 9000 ft. What a ride to the top it was!! Great driving Martin!!
Enjoying the scenery from one of the overlooks.
The view is awesome!!! You really don't know where to look first
We took a guided tour of Cliff Palace, which is one of the largest cliff dwellings, the ranger discribed it as a downtown area.


On our way down to the Sruce tree house ruins.



Cliff Palace has 150 rooms, plus 75 open areas. The number of Ancestral Puebloans linving in Cliff Palace at any one time was 100 to 120.
