Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

Robert writes, "On our recent trip to Utah, the itinerary included driving back into Colorado to visit Mesa Verde National Park. The target destination was Monument Valley, and since Mesa Verde was "sorta" along the way, (between Moab Utah and Monument Valley) it was added to the trip."

From the National Park Service Website:
Ancestral Pueblo People of Mesa Verde
About 1,400 years ago, long before Europeans explored North America, a group of people living in the Four Corners region chose Mesa Verde for their home. For more than 700 years they and their descendants lived and flourished here, eventually building elaborate stone communities in the sheltered alcoves of the canyon walls. Then, in the late A.D. 1200s, in the span of a generation or two, they left their homes and moved away. Mesa Verde National Park preserves a spectacular reminder of this ancient culture.
Robert says that when he came upon these bikers, he saw "an interesting contrast of modern civilization meeting the ancient past."
