Visit to Mesa Verde National Park, August of 2006. Only spent a day and a half in the park. So much to see. The park begs for black & white images, so some of the pictures have other versions.
Spruce Tree House, Mesa Verde National Park, CO
Spruce Tree House was likely constructed between A.D. 1200 and 1276 by the Ancestral Puebloans. They used to be known as the Anasazi, but the name has been changed to "better reflect the ancestral origins of the people." Anyway, Spruce Tree House was first discovered in December of 1888 by Richard Wetherill and Charles Mason. They named the dwellings after a huge spruce tree they found growing in front of the site. It is said that they used the tree to climb down from the cliff above. The tree was cut down by a later explorer.
