Park Point--Mesa Verde

Today as we left the Mesa we stopped at the highest point, which is 8,700 ft. It is also a fire overlook. About 70% of the park has been burned by fire over the last 20 years. Many of the trees hundreds of years old and grow very slowly.
From this s overlook you look nort to Colorado and the Moab Mountains in UT. To the south is New Mexico and the SW Arizona. It is a gorgeous day and thus view--very near the Four Corners-- is spectacular.
