I'm not sure who that old coot is photo bombing this cliff dwelling, but I saw him free climb down into the canyon from the mesa top. Silly old guy must have went up the wrong canyon looking for this ruin, climbed out, walked across the mesa, & then climbed down into this, the right canyon with its really cool cultural site. There's rock art decorating the canyon walls, pottery shards, 800-year-old corn cobs, & pressure flakes everywhere!
@mmaretz Ya, and they don't let you just hike wherever in Mesa Verde. I went there on this trip, but I prefer the free exploring on public lands in SE Utah. A lot fewer people to deal with and a less sanitized experience. But, as always, #VisitWithRespect!
