Mesa Verde Nat'l Park & Four Corners CO.

We left Durango this morning and went to Mesa Verde National Park where there are many cliff dwellings. This is one of those. These cliff dwellings are on a mesa at 8000 plus feet above sea level. Even in the valleys the elevation is 5000 to 6000 feet above sea level. This is part of the Colorado Plateau which encompasses parts of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

This is a picture taken in the canyon below some of the cliff dwellings. The colors are beautiful this time of year.

Me standing in four states at one time. This is the four corners where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet. It is on the Navajo Indian Reservation.
Tomorrow we plan to take a Jeep ride in Sedona, AZ, in the red rock area of Sedona, and Montezuma's Castle. Then we're going to relax for a day in Sun City.
The trip is starting to wind down. We plan to start our trip home next Wednesday, but we still have plenty of sights to see.
