The drive to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado was just as amazing as driving in New Mexico. The campground in this park was by far the best campground we stayed in. It was so nice even though there was black bear in the area. The first night we camped out in a clear area which was a horrible choice because it dropped from 75 degree to 41! Totally froze but it was worth cause the meteor shower was that night. I talked Jeanette into eating marshmallows the next night which was an awesome idea (although I always ruin Jeanette’s vegetarianism).

Ok as for the park, Jeanette lied to me about the heights. FYI like the Toronto post I am deathly afraid of heights. I had to climb up wooden ladders, not cool! These ancient cliff dwellings were amazing!
**Side story while we were in Carlsbad this awesome ranger named Tami and I had a chat and I told her what Jeanette and I were doing. When I told her we were going to Mesa Verde she goes “I have a ranger friend, Brooke, who I trained with that works there”. Well I promised Tami I would try to find Brooke. Well the first tour we went was lead by…yep Brooke! I walked up to her and said Tami wanted me to tell you hi. She freaked that we had actually saw her. It was awesome.

Anyways, the first tour was Cliff Palace the largest cliff dwelling there which was pretty despite the height. This was also my first experience with high altitudes (more to come on this and why I am an idiot).
So our two days in Mesa Verde were awesome and best described in photos, woot!
