Alpine SoCal Bayfield Rally -Day 6

We visited the Mesa Verde National Park to view the cliff dwellings. We elected to concentrate on the Cliff Palace which is the largest cliff dwelling in the world.

First, we needed to purchase tour tickets at the new Visitor & Research Center


The Cliff Palace dwellings from the guide meeting point.

Starting the long walk down ...

Long and narrow walk down ...

Our guide ...






And now for the long walk up & out ...


We also stopped at the Square Tower House overlook where the rangers are actively working to preserve & protect the dwellings. Notice that there's NO easy way down and back up!
