We enjoyed the culture and wildlife at Mesa Verde. We had 4 deer cruise throuh our camp site as we set up. The weather was beautiful at 9,000 feet. In the evenings, we could watch the deer run down the hillsides to get to the green grass in the large camping area. Bob and I did one ruin tour, and then hiked around other on our own.
