Exploring Mesa Verde

 We started the day with a guided tour of the Cliff Palace. Fortunately, we scheduled an early time and were in the shade. The guide was very good at imparting information about the dwellings, the people that inhabited the site and how they lived. After, we drove around the park exploring different areas and taking lots of photographs. These are from my iPhone 14pro, I will develop my Nikon camera pictures in a few days after we get home and I have my computer.

Jemez to Mesa Verde

 This morning we bid farewell to the Jemez Springs as we headed to Mesa Verde.

We took our time to enjoy the scenery and take a few photos along the way.

While going through Aztec we came upon the Aztec Ruins National Monument. We decided to take a look, so glad we did. It is right off the main road and the ruins were great.
