Full moon amongst the canyons and cliff dwellings of the Ancient Puebloans

Last night we enjoyed a twilight tour throught the Mesa Verde Cliff
Palace and spent several hours moongazing from the wide Mesa tops of
the National Park. While there is still a great mystery as to why
these large civilizations just vanished, it was fascinating to explore
their building and farming techniques that have stood the test of time.
This morning we drove northward into the high mountains of Colorado,
catching a classic blue bird morning, following clear wide rivers,
green multicolored slopes up to picturesque snow covered peaks. It's
safe to say, our jaws have been dropped, since entering this mountain
playground...

Going on a tip from a friendly dude from an outdoor store in
Durango, our morning destination was a tucked away high granite canyon
at 9700 outside of Teluride.
More to come on this harrowing adventure, but for now, we are heading
out for a mountain bike ride.
