Cliff Dwellings

Years ago I visited the Anasazi Indian Cliff Dwellings in the Mesa Verde National Park. The Anasazi, ancestors of the Pueblo Indians, lived in this area from 1100 - 1300 AD. The different levels of the Cliff Dwellings were connected by ladders. Seven hundred years ago the Indians mysteriously disappeared. Today the Cliff Dwellings are an important tourist destination.
 
I took my picture this morning while on a hike with Bob H, up Mount Baldy, starting at the Phoenix Lake Parking lot. The weather was gorgeous!
