Mesa Verde

This is the laddder to get up to Balcony House, one of the cliff dwellings we toured today.


A view out over the canyon from the Cliff Palace overlook. There was a thunderstorm starting so the picture is dark.


This is Cliff Palace, the other cliff dwelling we toured. Within minutes of the start of this tour the sky opened up in a massive thunderstorm. We huddled under the cliff face as much as possible, but still came out of the tour drenched to the bone.


Huddling under the overhang of the cliff waiting for our entire tour group to get to the bottom. It was COLD!


The kids posing at the park entrance sign. You can see how wet they still are, even though it had stopped raining an hour before I took this picture.

Hi from Kris. Your pictures of Mesa Verde bring back great memories of our time there. I believe we were hot though instead of cold. Also, we always took a picture us by each National Park sign like yours. Our kids complained about it, but it is definately something they remember about our trips!

Hi VDA's,
We got to San Jose about 1:00 today. This is the first time we have had a chance to read your BLOG. As we flew from Houston to San Jose, the pilot said we were flying over Bryce Canyon. We almost saw your blue van. We will be in Ripon tomorrow.
