The very south-west of Colorado where it meets Utah and New Mexico is where Mesa Verde is located.
What a great view, during wintertime. Mesa Verde people would have had fires going in all their fire pits...and wear their warmest clothes. Food would have been stored in special rooms, and would be shared by all. This would be the time of making crafts inside the houses...pottery, basket making, weavings, making instruments and weapons to hunt with, sewing clothing.
For the summertime views from my visit to Mesa Verde in 2019, look here. That's the one with all the dioramas and reading of history. Here's one of looking at the mesa houses, Spruce Tree House.

...a place that I've never visited.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have been there twice in my life. But I sure would enjoy another trip!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is a place I would like to visit. Love the photos. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!
If ever you get a chance, it's a really wonderful site that remembers a culture from long before we came to this land.
DeleteI've heard of it! Quite interesting!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the outstanding ancient people's artifacts...still standing throughout history. Amazing.
DeleteI've only ever seen it in photos, but it looks quite a place.
ReplyDeleteIt does take a wile driving up to it. And then there are all these amazing buildings carved into rock, or built up with some bricks or rocks. Standing there as if just a few years ago the people left without a trace.
