Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park (No. 13)

Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. The cliff dwelling and park are in Montezuma County, in the southwestern corner of Colorado, in the Southwestern United States.

Tree-ring dating indicates that construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace was continuous approximately from 1190 CE through 1260 CE, although the major portion of the building was done within a 20-year time span. The Ancestral Puebloans, also known as Anasazi, who constructed this cliff dwelling and the others like it at Mesa Verde were driven to these defensible positions by "increasing competition amidst changing climatic conditions". Cliff Palace was abandoned by 1300, though debate is ongoing as to the cause. Some contend that a series of megadroughts interrupting food production systems was the main cause.

Cliff Palace was rediscovered in 1888 by Richard Wetherill and Charlie Mason while they were looking for stray cattle.

Colorado Trip

Recently just got back from my trip to Colorado, just like my Monterey trip, here are some photos I took ^^

Day 1 - Manitou & Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Day 2 - Rampart Reservoir

(Yeah, this bear approached us, it was super close!! Luckily it was scared and ran away quickly. It got like 40-50ft from my aunt. Probably even closer to our picnic tables but I wasn't close to everyone else when the bear appeared.)

Day 3 - Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (again)

We got a membership to the zoo because they do monthly member nights; since my aunt has a membership, we decided to go too; it was nice to go at night to see the nocturnal animals. This 2nd trip was when the rest of our family could go

Day 4 - Denver Aquarium

I have to post the rest of the pictures in another post LMAO

I really need a vacation. Like an actual proper week off work and go somewhere vacation.

Too bad I'm poor and don't have any vacation pay left.
