Long House Tour

Ok--this is the last post on Mesa Verde!!
Couldn't resist putting a few more pictures!
Another beautiful day in the national park!
We drove to our last tour called the Long House Tour.

This tour was a little different because we were able to ride a shuttle down to where the tour begins.

The shuttle was fun--reminded me of going on a ride at Disneyland!

Here they are! The 3 amigos! Just listening to the tour guide talk about ancient historic info.

This kid is the best hiker I know! So glad he is my hiking buddy!

Speaking of buddies...I sure love carrying this little buddy around on my back! I know it won't be long before he insists on hiking himself and will be too big to carry on my back!!

We saw a few of these creatures on our trip! Look closely and you will see a snake! Not a huge fan of snakes!!

Definitely not as scary as the other tours we went on! The kids are pros now climbing ladders!

The Lewis Family's new home! Just kidding! I was very grateful to have the house I do after this trip! I sure couldn't imagine living here!

This is Long House. The hike down wasn't bad at all, all paved and very quick.

Now I know why I've always wanted to go here! It was all so fascinating! Pretty amazing sights we saw this trip! So glad we went! It was well worth our time!

Two brothers! Just chillin in the ruin!

High upon the mountain wall of the Indian Ruin of the Long House there is a hand print!

The shuttle took us around to different viewpoints and we were able to get off the shuttle, see the view point, and hop back on the shuttle to the next viewpoint!

Right down there is the Long House Ruin. We rode the shuttle around to a viewpoint where we could get out and look at the hike we just went on.

I just can't get enough of these 3 children! Some people go on vacations without their kids! Not me! I just love being with them and spending our vacations camping, hiking, and bonding together!
Bring on a fun summer!!
