We are standing at an overlook with the Cliff Houses behind us.
It was a glorious but cold day in early May

We stayed at the very comfortable Mesa Verde Lodge for two nights.
The Lodge served delicious dinners.
In the morning we had to walk about 15 minutes (some took the bus) to a cafeteria style breakfast.
On the way we passed these wild horses. Signs were posted urging us to keep our distance from them!

| 1000 year old Tevas! |
These sandals along with the pottery below were uncovered in an archeological dig. It is not clear why the Cliff Dwellers left and moved south leaving essentially everything behind. Some surmise that it was due to a 30 year long drought. The dry climate helped to preserve many artifacts.
