Ok. Today was a big day for Hiking and sight seeing.
On the agenda were a 2.8 mile hike to the
petroglyphs
and visits to the Spruce Tree House, Cliff Palace
and the Long House cliff dwellings. We
were already in the Mesa
Verde National
Park camping, but it still takes almost an hour
to drive to each of the cliff dwelling sites.
Then you have to hike into Cliff
Palace and Long House (which
is on an entirely different mesa within the park) It is a loooooong day!
But, so worth it.
I have never seen anything so beautiful and
awe inspiring as these ancient and sacred places.
I love it. I want to live in a cliffside
alcove, hovering above a 1000
ft. canyon, facing south!
I WILL retire here.
