We have spent 2 very enjoyable days looking at the Hovenweep and Mesa Verde Cliff dwellings. These were created by Puebloan Indians in approximately 1200ad and are really, truly awesome. Whole tribes lived in these 'villages' which were made under the overhangs of cliffs but about 3,000 ft up. The Indians accessed the dwellings via ladders and footholes which was impressive in itself. Rather than put lots of blurb describing them, I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves!
