Sun Temple and Far View House, Mesa Verde

More of my vacation in Colorado...on Mesa Verde!

 A wonderful Juniper Tree...


 The "Sun Temple" has many unsolved mysteries.


 We enjoyed looking briefly at the Far View House.

 We didn't take the time to look along the trail, rather looked quickly at the Far View House, then headed to Mancos to meet a new cousin.

    1. Yes, we carried water bottles all the time. Very dry out there even now. Sorry about my iPhone shadows on the various photos.

    1. I tried to capture each of the paragraphs, but some of my photos have shadows of my phone on them. So sorry. Yes, imagining life is really hard...just thinking of toddlers being somehow kept from falling over the edges of canyons!

    1. Thanks Bill...as I just said, I really tried to get the information photographed, though not at all in artistic ways.

    1. It has a beauty which I wouldn't want to live with...too harsh for me.

    1. Yes, David, I am very glad this area is a National Park now. I remember going out to New Mexico about 50 years ago, and there was a lot of pottery on the black market that had just been carried off by anyone with a shovel at various sites. It may still be so.
