Today was spent (for the most part) touring Mesa Verde National Park in the Four Corners region of southwestern Colorado. This was the fourth time I've visited the park.
The park is notable for cliff structures built by the Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi), with Cliff Palace being the largest of the cliff dwellings. The Anasazi Indians populated the Four Corners region from around 1,500 B.C. to about the 13th Century. Some Anasazi pottery shards were found on my property a couple of years ago.

We started it by having breakfast at the snack bar at Morefield Campground in the park. Following that, we went into the store next door before heading out.

Naturally, as with all other national parks, a camera is essential equipment and I managed to make good use of mine during our tour.
