Mesa Verde NP is SO! COOL!

Famous last words, "We'll just poke our heads into Mesa Verde NP and hit the road quickly". We had a long day planned and lots of ground to cover.

So, about 4 hours later, we staggered out of Mesa Verde with our spirits and brains filled to the brim with awe and amazement. It was fascinating to see what the Pueblo ancestors achieved with the tools at their disposal. Palaces and temples carved out of the cliffs! Just imagine what it took to manage such a feat!

I threw in another fun driving video as you get to see both the twisty mountain road and the amazing landscapes.

So long, Mesa Verde and thank you for your gifts to us all!Read more
