We woke up and had oatmeal and hot chocolate for breakfast. Then we went to the Mesa Verde's museum and got tickets to look at the cliff dwellings. To pass the time, we took a fun hike and at the top got to see petroglyphs. When we got back down, it was time for our tour! We saw all the structures and buildings. We went up about four ladders and through one tunnel. - Hannah
Mesa Verde, Green Table: Apparently mesas are like huge flat tabletops. We went on a hike to see some petroglyphs. They were cool. Then we went on a tour. I soaked up a lot of info, but my favorite part was climbing up the ladders and climbing some carved stairs. Then we drove to Taos. - Jackson
Mesa Verde and the cliff dwellings are fascinating. We picked the "adventurous" tour that included the most ladders and a tunnel because we thought the kids would like that the best. From their comments, they did. Everything at Mesa Verde is so spread out that the whole experience was an adventure in driving. We drove from our campsite to the showers, our campground to the visitor center, then back by our campground to the museum, and from the museum to the cliff dwellings. I'm really glad we made it a stop on our journey. I think everyone in the family learned something. Now on to Taos. - Hillary
