It is a beautiful 20-mile drive up the
mountain to get to the cliff dwellings
(and a little challenging in the snow!)
There are a lot of stairs and ladders
to climb to and from the dwellings.
CLIFF PALACE
Above the wooden sticks is some rock art (in red).
SPRUCE TREE
Those sticks coming up out of the ground are
ladders that lead down into underground rooms.
