Our room at the lodge at Mesa Verde was great- the view was beautiful. We spent most walking around the Mesa Verde sites. There is a tram that travels to the various sites. We were able to see several more home sites as well as some wild horses. From there we headed to Durango, CO, a really fun western town with lots of activity. The Durango Lodge is right near Main Street,so we booked a room for the night. After a quick swim we headed out. We sampled a few local brews and had dinner.

One of many cave dwellings form around 900 A.D.

These dwellings are amazing. Below is a pit house.

 If you look closely, you can see the finer and toe holds they made to help with climbing to upper levels

Site of a Kiva, a round structure that had a roof, used in ceremonies and meetings.

Suiting up for rain!

This is why we prepared for rain- luckily it went around us!

 That's all for now!
