Mesa Verde and Durango

After the Grand Canyon, I was motivated to work North toward Estes Park to meet a friend visiting from Australia, so there were a few quick days of driving. The first night was in Durango, CO, and I passed through Mesa Verde National Park along the way in. Cool native American history, as these mud brick buildings were built into cliffs and inhabited about 1000 years ago. The ruins are almost entirely original structure too. I just did a quick stop, one cliff dwelling and the museum, but apparently there are quite a few cliff dwellings to see.

Dinner in Durango was at Serious Texas BBQ – very good brisket and pulled pork and reasonably priced.
