Day 17 ... Mesa Verde National Park

We spent the day today touring the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde National Park. They're pretty cool to see, thought they do require some climbing down lots of steps, climbing up ladders and more steps, and even crawling through tunnels!

It didn't take us as long to see the park as I thought it would, we were done around 3:00 pm. If I had known that, I probably would have booked a campground further to the East, rather than spending another night in the park. Oh well, maybe next time!!!

That's about all there is to say for today. Tomorrow we really start to head to the East, stopping at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado for a brief visit, and then spending the night in Goodland, KS.

The journey home begins!!!

  1. I was watching the PBS special on the National Parks last night, a long but a great show if you haven't seen it. The part I saw was on Mesa Verde and how some locals found it a Swedish guy who loaded up a train and took thousands of things back to Sweden. Minus the clothes y'all are wearing the PICs of the place look almost the same. When you're back we can fill you in on what you missed, oh yeah NOTHING!
