Cliff Palace dwellings
We spent the day visiting archaeological sites of the ancestral puebloans (Anasazi) here in Mesa Verde National Park. We walked around many of the sites on self guided tours, and also went on ranger led tours of Cliff Palace and Balcony House. I enjoyed the latter more, as the tour guide was much better. Enid did not go on this tour because it included scaling a 30 foot ladder, and then negotiating a climb up a narrow ledge hanging on to chains to exit.
It was amazing to see the number of structures, and how well built and preserved they are. Given the size of the doorways and the dimensions of their rooms, they must have been very small people.
