Mesa Verde National Park

Here is the site for Mesa Verde http://www.visitmesaverde.com/.


Montezuma Valley Overlook on the drive up to the dwellings.


 Cliff dwelling ruins


 Cliff Palace - the largest cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde


Spruce Tree House - this is the dwelling we chose to see up close (the pictures above are obviously from afar - Spruce Tree we walked up to it and got a closer view).


Far view of Spruce Tree House


 Joel next to tower at Spruce Tree House




 Kiva - used for religious ceremonies.  When occupied, this area would have had a roof.



Square Tower House - also viewed from afar.
