Mesa Verde

Today we visited the ancient Pueblo ruins of Mesa Verde. We did some serious hiking and climbing to reach the cliff dwellings.

This is Ronda scampering up a latter. The rangers told us that rule #1 was not to look down.

I honestly can't believe that they let people climb up these latters and walk along the edge of 1,000 ft cliffs with no railings. It's nuts but we didn't see anyone fall to their death :)

This is one of several cliff dwellings that we hiked to today...amazing!

Here we are, happy to visit but greatful that we don't live on a cliff.

The Road Trip

After leaving Denver yesterday afternoon, we drove to Moab Utah. We started our Sunday by attending a very spiritual sacrament meeting and then headed off to explore the area. This is Dead Horse Point in Canyonlands National Park.
