Maybe even more astounding were the ruins of cliff dwellings. The ancient pueblo people lived here up until 1200s and how! They built their houses to the canyon walls, under the sandstone alcoves. These villages were practically inaccessible and I kind of missed why did they go through so much trouble to built to such difficult places. In any case, it's great to know a bit more about the life in America before the exploits of the white man.
Oh, and great many thanks to the park rangers. They've told us awful lot of interesting history and been very helpful where ever we've met them.

Pro tip: at this altitude the heat and thin air can really wear you down. Some can get light headed. Drink plenty of water and eat well. Banana nut bread and dried chili mangos are essential to your survival.
