After settling in at Ute Mountain Casino and RV Resort, Mesa Verde National Park was our first sight-seeing destination.

Some examples of pit houses built around A.D. 650 by the Anasazi:
Pueblo Village circa A.D. 860. Built above ground around an open plaza.
Anasazi village circa A.D. 1200.
Around A.D. 1250 the Anasazi started to abandon the mesa top buildings and move into alcoves in the canyon walls.
