Balcony House, Mesa Verde National Park

Kiva, a ceremonial pit. The hole represents where they came from, below the earth's surface. Ancestors still come to perform rituals. There was a feather on the bottom of this Kiva from one such ceremony recently performed.

There was a BIG ladder to get to this one.

There was a tiny tunnel to leave this one too! With my backpack on I did not make it through. This is Ethan going through. I had to toss the pack through to get out. In the middle of the tunnel you can stand up. This is a tunnel the natives used.
