Photos of Mesa Verde

On the road from Santa Fe we passed through lots of "brown" scenery

Echo point. Fantastic colours!

Then we hit snow...


The bedroom of our cozy cabin



The log cabin


Sunset looking over Mesa Verde (the flat bit on the left!)


Beautiful colours as the sun sinks low


06:20 - Sunrise from the cabin porch


The first rays of sun hit the Mesa


Just a nice shot at sunrise!


Wrapped up and bleary eyed!
No photos of me - it would have cracked the lens!



Getting closer to the Mesa


Views across the valley


On the way down to the cliff dwelling


We were both running like little runny things to be the first to get this shot!



The Spruce Tree House cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde


It was built around 1200AD



Quite an incredible feat



Looking through a window



How the heck did they manage to build this (the worlds first high rise?!)...



...here??
There was no easy way up or down that we could see.


The 4 Corners monument
