Here's Tyler in front of part of the old wall. Supposedly those T-shaped doors were very popular in the dwellings. You can see some behind Ty in the next picture.
Also where those "sticks" are coming out, they're actually ladders that are going down into the kivas! Finally some that weren't totally open!
We even got to go into a Kiva! Here's Tyler climbing down!
It was great temperature controlled, and their way of keeping smoke down and still letting air in was really clever!
We really wished we could go further back there and explore more!
They would barely let you go anywhere!
After Spruce Tree House we also got to go see the cliff dwelling known for its 4- story tower still standing! That was incredible!
On the top mesa loop, we saw tons of pit houses and villages.This is one where the pit houses were slowly developing into kivas, which would be transferred down into the cliff dwellings.
Lastly Saturday night we had chilly which we cooked in a pot on our grill. (unfortunately we couldn't have any open fires) But luckily Grandma got us this cool grill for Christmas, and we'll be using it a ton this summer!
After than long day, we pretty much hit the hay at 7:30 while it was still light out.. On accident since it started raining so all we could do was lay in our tents. Unfortunately I had a massive headache allll night long and barely slept at all. Fantastic.
