hey we made it to mesa verde national park here in colorado and right behind us are some
beautiful snow-capped mountains back there so as we drove here um we got views of those
mountains the whole way it's so pretty so i'm so excited to see this park now because we're
here during covid they aren't doing tours and stuff so some parts of the park are closed
however there's still lots of views supposedly that you can see of like the cliff dwellings
um from like just you know the drive-through so that's what we're gonna go check out now see
all the different uh cliff dwellings so we're really excited to be here
we've been to Colorado but we've never been on this side of colorado so hello from colorado
so we're driving uh the road here in mesa verde and it reminds us of a peaks pike have you ever
been there in colorado it's a windy drive to the top pike's peak that's what it is
sorry this is awesome we're like right on the edge of the road and puppy's having fun
if you can see that ledge that's like the drive all the way up here
it's so much reminded us about pike's peak here in colorado when we did that drive
crazy but look at this you guys this is an overlook here on the way up to the cliff dwellings
beautiful we got our first wildlife viewing here in mesa verde it's a big deer it's a buck yeah
it's a little horns
the higher we climb the windier it's getting go to the fire tower this way
we just made it to cliff palace which should have some of the first quick
lift some of the first cliff dwellings here at mesa verde excited to see them
you guys that is so crazy right here
1200 a.d this is crazy so cool to see this now we're here check this out
this is really hard to see but it's on the other side i'm gonna see if i can zoom in
there it is see that isn't that crazy you guys it's so small in these rocks
wow i know how they got down in like this canyon and came across it's so weird
the hemingway house it is way across right there it's absolutely amazing
and this is right below it
wow right there it is
this is what the pit house looks like so they come in
and then they go down and it's their own little house down here wow that's crazy
the palace where we were earlier is right across from us now it's right there wow that's cool you
can see the people this is where we were standing up there on the left cool then if you zoom out
and then just to the right there's another dwelling that's so crazy
there's one more way over here so there's three right here from this viewpoint
that's so crazy to be like people down here doing stuff yeah
just think of that all the little pueblos just down here doing their stuff
so one thing about this national park is that there's a lot of driving so just one way to get
to like all the cleft dwelling areas it's like a 45 minute drive or so and then there's of course
of multiple viewpoints along the way but we got here at about 11 30 and it's about 2 30 and we're
just on our way out now so we probably have like a half hour drive still to get out of the park so
yeah it's been a good three three and a half hours or so um in this park so just be aware of that but
way cool very cool viewpoint these cliff dwellings are just amazing to see and just like think about
how these people lived here like that's craziness so cool we got a wild horse oh hi pretty boy hi
well you might be a girl i'm not sure wow so that is a wrap here in colorado mesa verde national
park is way way way cooler highly recommend so glad we stopped here on our trip here from arizona
