Aug. 24th – Aug. 29th

Barry and I spent the past week visiting Mesa Verde National Monument and Canyons of the Ancient National Monument before we left for Bluff, Utah.

Fair view Ruins
Kiva or pit house
Balcony house ruins

We drove to other areas in the Canyons of the Ancient, a very large area where the Pueblo people built their homes in the cliffs.

We hiked two different ruin sites, Lowry Pueblo was being cared for and the last one was hard to invision where the sites where other than piles of stones. The Sand Canyon was the largest ruin in the area.

couldn’t really see the ruins, the view was pretty
On the other side of the cliff, at one time, there were many stone homes and kivas.

Kivas were gathering places for the community
