Mesa Verde


















On our way to our next destination of
Durango in Colarado we stopped at Mesa
Verde National Park to see these amazing
cliff dwellings built around 900 years ago.
At some point the cliff dwellers left
abandonning their homes and nobody knows
quite why though a prolonged draught seems
the most likely explanation.
The houses were built over several stories and
you have to climb down ladders and crawl
through tunnels if you want to see it all!
