On our way to Colorado, we cut through a corner of Utah so we could drive through Monument Valley. Awesome is too simple a word. Also, these photos make me realize that either my camera has no ability to pick up true color, because this place is ORANGE (a really nice orange), or I don't know how to use it correctly (this is probably the true reason).
***Warning: driving through Monument Valley is a nightmare for people who get car sick. Up and down, up and down---you have been warned***
Mesa Verde National Park near Cortez, Colorado:
Just like the picture in my 6th grade social studies book, only I got to be in it and touch everything (only where we were allowed to)!!!
The Pueblo people lived here about 1,400 years ago and built their homes into these cliffs.
We were told this particular staircase built into the mountain is at least 700 years old.
We also had to use ladders to climb out.
Climbing into a Kiva (a ceremony room, or a living room)
Go. You won't regret it.
