Canyons of the Ancients

J
ust back from an incredible several days in southwestern Colorado. One highlight was the fairly new Canyons of the Ancients National Monument west of Cortez, which has the greatest concentration of archaeological sites in the United States, most of them unexcavated.

Here is one such unexcavated cliff dwelling we happened upon, set in a very unusual-looking cliff.

This photo will give you a good sense of the landscape.

And then we bumped into this guy, who tried to sell us car insurance.
