Southwest 2004 Travelogue: Part 6 I don't stand a chance of correctly identifying which photos in this group are from which of the different sites at Mesa Verde, but I'll try to at least vaguely pin things down. Perhaps my sister can illuminate things and I can update this page accordingly. In any case, I do know that these first photos are from the Chapin Mesa, on the evening of the day we got there, and were taken on the Mesa Top Loop Road tour that we did that evening.                      These are from the next morning, when we did a ranger-led tour of a site on Chapin Mesa; Balcony House, perhaps? I am not confident that the last photos in this section are from the same area.                                           That afternoon, if I recall correctly, we drove to Weatherill Mesa and did a ranger-led tour there; Long House, maybe? Note the hand-print on the rock in the last of these four images; there was a hand-print on one in the previous group too, which I'll let the reader hunt for...               These photos are taken from overlooks the shuttle bus stopped at after the tour we took on Weatherill Mesa.        The next morning we did a quick walk-through at Spruce Tree House, which was the most crowded place we went in Mesa Verde, but had a few things that the other sites we visited did not. I get the impression that many visitors see this and nothing else, but I would recommend doing most of the other things in the park before you do this. The ranger-led tours were really informative and fun, as well as being less crowded and noisy than Spruce Tree House was. At other sites it was not hard to get "clean" photos without people (do the first tour of the day to make this particularly easy), but here it was impossible except when shooting towards areas that people were not allowed into.        And now we're on Interstate 80, hightailing it for home. Before that happened, we stayed several days in Santa Fe, a day in Taos, and then dropped Lee and Jeremy at Denver airport; but I put my camera away for that part of the trip. So that's it!
