Mesa Verde, Colorado Cliff Palace overview

Good dancer friend Sue Ann told me that seeing this place was chilling to her. It's beyond that.

This is a Journey into the Abyss of Time and Life!

Think of getting into a time machine and arriving here. This is one of the most powerful places I've ever stood at. You tear up in your eyes when you walk upon this. You've just stood on plateau tops / cliff tops... visibility 40 - 50 miles... cool thin pure air, bright sun...

... just thankful for a wonderful , beautiful day.... and then you hike into Cliff Palace. ...and see Spruce Tree-house post.

When you get here... you can't help but to stop and hit a knee and say a prayer... for everything... for all the things you wanted to pray about. This is the place to offer them up. ... and ask for grace.

This is a special place. After seeing this... you promise to rededicate and make the world a better place. It is that powerful.

You never drink twice from the same stream.

Into Mesa Verde



ITW 21

Into Mesa Verde

It's 20 miles from the turnoff on hwy 160w to the park. The sights are great!!!

and we're not even there. I've wanted to see Mesa Verde for a long time and can sense the excitement driving in. The rock strata is amazing.

Mesa Verde was also part of the 4 corners Chocco Culture. -- also see Chimney Rock post

It just gets better going through Mesa Verde. The next sights around the bend are better than the last...

You wonder how these communities interacted with the others a few miles apart. ?What clans, what tribal factions were different from camp to camp? ?Were there chiefs at each pueblo? ?Was there a chief over all of Mesa Verde? ?What was there liaison / relationship to Chimney Rock -- the spiritual heart of 4 corners that celebrated Lunar cycles for the region a thousand years ago?

... just thankful for a wonderful , beautiful day.... and then you hike into this place.

This was a great day! Thank you!
