Sometimes a road trip can alleviate all your stresses and worries that come from every day life.<\/div>\n

I leave Phoenix at mid-day on a Friday and head to the remote town of Chinle, arriving as the sun sets. In the morning I make it the rest of the way to my destination, Mesa Verde<\/a>. My last time here was in 1997, traveling with a potential girlfriend to a wedding in New Mexico. We didn’t do much exploring as it was November.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
This time around was much different, and more my style of exploration.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
If you can just imagine yourself as an Anasazi Indian, living in the adobe cliff side dwelling, you can get a real sense of the lifestyle here a few hundred years ago.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
The park lets you wander and explore the rooms found here, which is a rare treat for such precious artifacts. Be careful, take your time, and explore the wonders of Mesa Verde National Park in the four corners area of colorful Colorado.<\/div>\n\n\n
