Cliff dwellings

In the morning we were glad to see a marvellous sunrise.

Later strong winds whirled up so much dust that we didn´t see the sun for the rest of the day.

Nevertheless, we visited a former rock settlement of the Anasazi in the Mesa Verde National Park. The Anasazis 800 years ago built Pueblos with multifloored houses from clay and stones. It was interesting for me that the entrances were at the roof.

Lightning has destroyed over and over the woods at this high elevation (nearly 3000m).
