A view from the Lodge at the top of one of the Mesas. Rain came and went at the turn of a corner!
A view from inside Balcony House. These round rooms, Kivas, had a flat roof back in the day. The people used them for ceremonies and crafting. The rooms behind were either where people slept or stored things...depends if there were remains of fire present or not.
Below: Cliff Palace - the largest of the 600+ cliff dwellings on site! I must admit, after seeing this one I was a bit ruin-saturated...needed more riding!
This was particularly true for me when I met Ranger Kaitlyn: Hardcore enough to keep rambunctious children off 800-year-old walls, tender enough to make people weep with her tour narratives and who's love of forests and cold weather is arguably greater than mine!
