Sage to keep our car smelling nice
Boneyard
After rafting, we got in the car and made our way over to Mesa Verde, which is near the four corners. By the time we got there, the campsites were all closed, so we had to shell out some money to stay in the lodge, which is about a 45 minutes drive from the enterance of the park, which was really scary with no light but the moon as we wound around the side of a mountain with no barrier on the roads. Once we were up there, we looked out our window and saw a deer grazing under the moonlight and were really happy to be able to take a shower. Woke up the next morning and spent the day exploring the park and all of the amazing ruins there. The pueblo people built their homes in the side of the cliffs, and we toured one called Balcony House. You literally have to walk down a staircase on the side of a cliff, then climb up a series of ladders to get into the dwellings. There were some pretty strange landscape changes within the park because of past fires, which left skeletons of trees covering a lot of the land.
