One of the first views from the switchbacks on the opposite side of the canyon. I was hoping that I would get to walk where Native Americans had walked centuries before. |
Finally on the ruins. It was awe inspiring. First, to think of the people that built these homes, and then, to remember the explorers that found them and chose to preserve them. |
Even in ancient times, there were skyscrapers. It was about 11 am, but in the canyon it was cool and a nice little breeze. This location was well chosen. |
I was amazed at how deep the structures went into the cave. And how close to the edge of the cliff floor they extended out. |
What I tried to do as I went down the switchbacks was capture the ruins as if I was coming upon them by myself, as an explorer, for the first time. In a way I was since I was traveling alone. I hope you get that impression too.
