Desert Tree

After our vacation in Rocky Mountain National Park, we drove southwest and spent a few days at Mesa Verde National Park. I've written about my dislike of Mesa Verde's desert climate. I also remember feeling that once we had toured the spectacular ruins, there was not much there of interest to a young child. It's one of the few spots we had visited where I felt somewhat bored.

Looking back now at the photos from that trip, I realize I probably missed a lot.
