Mesa Verde

Our camp pet, the lizard. There were many of those and Jack Rabbits.

The kids were asked to guard the ladder, until the ranger had made sure every one else had caught up with us.

It was a long way down and a long climb up. Here is a shot of the top of the Ladder we had to climb to get out of this area.

Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings






Beautiful View we had while listening to the ranger talk of the people who use to live there, The Ancestral Puebloan people.

A rain storm came upon us really fast. We had to sit under these cliff's for over an hour waiting for the thunder and lightning to pass. Then we got to climb many many feet of ladder, while it was still raining hard, to get out of there. We were all soaked to the bone, but had a great time.
