Mesa Verde Part 2
After I left the museum, I turned right onto Mesa Top Loop Drive. There are pithouses and a few cliff dwellings on this road. I stop at the first spot, and it is a pithouse inside a metal building. There were others along the route, also. One of the cool things that I saw was Oak Tree House. That was pretty awesome. There were some other overlooks that were cool, too.
When I completed the loop, I drove to Cedar Tree Tower. It was similar to the tower in Largo Canyon, but not as nice. It had another larger room attached. After that, I drove to the Far View Sites that I remember from thirty years ago. I had to walk quite a ways to get to them. I thought there was another kiva that I could get into it, but it didn't work out that way. It was mostly muddy and snowy, but still accessible . . . if you don't mind slogging through deep mud!
On the way driving out of the park, I took a picture of the amazing view.
