July 21-This is Cliff Palace, one of the largest cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. Ancestral Puebloans (also called Anasazi) lived here from about 1200-1300 AD.
July 22- The first picture is from Newspaper Rock at Petrified Forest National Park. These are petroglyphs left by the ancient Puebloans of the Puerco Pueblo. It is so amazing that they survive in such detail after all this time. The second shot of my foot may not look like much, but it's actually me standing in Colorado, Arizona, Utah & New Mexico all at the same time, at the Four Corners Monument on the Navajo Nation lands.
That pic of Skyline Arch is beautiful! And I liked the Cliff Dwelling too...do they let you go into it, or is it off limits? Hooray for making it to the Four Corners :) I've been enjoying your postcards and making a collection on the wainscoting shelf in my music room :)
ReplyDeleteyou can go into the Cliff Palace, Keri. You have to take a ranger-led tour and tickets are $3. However, you also have to climb scary ladders and crawl through tunnels, so I passed. There are two other dwellings you can go into as well, but one has a 100-foot ladder! Glad you like the post cards! I sent more this weekend.
