Cortez, Colorado
I went to Cortez to explore Crow Canyon, Yellowjacket and the surrounding area northwest of Mesa Verde. We rode horseback through stunning canyons, hiked through Sand Canyon Pueblo, visited all the Anasazi sites we could. It's a passion.

 Jack's Canyon was littered with
potshards! Anasazi black on white and corrugated designs (meaning they're about 1100 years
old!) |
Yellow Jacket mound. Under all the sagebrush are artifacts waiting to see the light
of day again. |
