This one’s the third largest dwelling there among several hundred and the only one we were men enough to visit – the other two involved things like walking three miles first, then climbing up 10 ft wooden ladders, followed by a rock climb.
It was fascinating. Discovered in 1888 when two local ranchers came upon it while searching for stray cattle. The Anasazi people lived there around 800 years ago.
There was all kinds of information at the Visitor Centre and there were rangers around to tell us anything we wanted to know.
It took a good two hours to do the drive through the park alone, and there were masses of stop offs to see the Cliff Palace, Pit House, Square Tower House and the Sun Temple amongst others. Here are some of our photos.
