Our first major stop was Cliff Palace. We definitely began our adventure with the best stop. We waited with our tour guide ranger to guide us down the mountain and to the cliff dwellings.
The kids were chomping at the bit to go exploring but they did a good job of waiting patiently and listening. I tried explaining something to Daxton that the ranger had said and he turned to me, "Shh.. I'm trying to listen." Ok then!
Dropping down to the dwellings wasn't too difficult and it was impressive looking at the scale of this village. These are some really determined people. It's almost disappointing that they only lived down in these dwellings for a few generations before moving on.
Climbing out of the village was a little harder for Grandma Stratford. We had some ladders to scale and scampering to do.
We could feel the heat of the day as soon as we climbed out of the canyon. Quick, take us back down to the shade!
