| no partners | | We arrived to Mesa Verde later than planned...in fact, it was basically closed (5pm for Visitor Center). The ranger told us that we would be "chased out" at sundown...but gave us some ideas on how to best utilize our 2 or so hours.
We started at Spruce Tree and quickly went down the ruins, decended the Kiva, and came back up. There are many informative signs about the flora/fauna...I tempted fate and touched the "Poison Ivy" (hey! it was a controlled experiment right?) with NO ILL EFFECTS. 
The ruins are very nice. Rangers patrol the base, ensuring no one goes beyond the roped areas, but they were nice and very informative.
I hope to return to Mesa Verde and spend some quality time; in fact, its on my "short list". |
