Cliff Palace - Parting Shots

 To exit Cliff Palace, we followed a narrow walkway back up to the top of the mesa.  However, this walkway was not in place 1000 years ago.  Back then, the residents climbed the walls using the footholds and handholds you see here.  People climbed these rocks carrying baskets filled with produce from their farms on the mesa.

 We were the last of our group to leave.  Below, you can see the next group moving in for their tour.
