Mesa Verde
We really wanted to go camping while we were in Utah. Lyndon and one of his cousins started reminiscing about a trip they took to Mesa Verde as children and bam! That is when the decision to go camping in Mesa Verde was born. It's about a five hour drive to Cortex, Colorado where the National Park is located. Being from the South and the kids growing up back east, we are not used to the desert landscapes that we drove through. That made it an adventure from the beginning! It was kind of exciting. Somethings we found out about Mesa Verde once we got there is that it is the first National Park established that preserves works of people. The people in this case are the Anasazi or Ancestral Pueblo. The Ancestral Pueblos lived here from 600 AD to 1300 AD eventually building up the communities in the cliffs that we can see today. First camping trip with the kiddos. Our fingers are crossed and prayers were said that all went well cause you never know with kids. Da
