Mexican Hat and Mesa Verde National Park

Mexican Hat.

Mesa Verde, Cliff Palace. This is from a viewpoint above. This is one of the largest dwellings in the area and thought to be more of a Community Center. This is where most of the grain was stored from the area.

The wood is original and probably hung out farther to make balconies. There are no "windows" here. They are all doors. The people who lived there were Rachael's height. The stone work at the beginning was rough but as they became skilled they took the time to shape the rocks to blocks.
