Dusty Jeans & Genes - Part 14 - Mesa Verde Views

Wednesday, 25 April, and Thursday, 26 April, 2018

Mesa Verde National Park also has some breathtaking scenery to enjoy.

Soda Canyon. Balcony House is off-photo on the right. The flat mesa tops are now scrub forest, but at the height of the Mesa Verde civilization, they were intensely farmed.
The area is primed for wildfires. This is the remains of the 2002 Long Mesa fire as seen near Cedar Tree Tower. Note how slowly the vegetation regenerates in the desert environment.
The view north from Park Point. The San Juan Mountains are in the distance.
Shiprock, in New Mexico, is visible 32 miles distant looking south from Park Point.
An evening view of Knife Edge from Montezuma Valley Overlook.
