Mother's Day at Mesa Verde


This Mother's Day my family was super nice to me - they let me take them hiking!!! We've only been in Colorado for about 2 weeks so it was definitely time to start exploring. Mesa Verde National Park is only about 40 min from our house and really awesome (and huge!).







First we checked out ancient Pueblo Indian ruins (about 1000 years old!)














We even got to climb down into the ruins - watch your step!















After that, we hiked around the edge of the canyon and enjoyed the views. Sometimes it was a little scary being right on the edge of a big drop off.














But we had fun climbing around in the rock formations...














squeezing through rocks...


















and climbing rocks!















We even saw ancient petroglyphs.















Surprising...














and fun! Who could ask for more?
