People along the way had recommended that we go to Mesa Verde National Park and look at the cliff dwellings where the ancestral Pueblo people had lived centuries ago. We headed south to Colorado and into the hot dry desert country. This place is a must see we stayed at a campsite at the entrance of the National Park for about 4 days and visited the Mesa Verde National Monument, where I overcame my fear of heights and climbed a 30 foot ladder up the side of a cliff to get to the Balcony ruins. How people managed to live up there and not fall off the cliffs I dont know. They used hand and foot holds to get up and down the cliffs. Terrifying. So is the arse shot.
This blog is intended to be a travel journal and a place where friends and family can share our excellent adventures when we go on holiday.
