Ancestral Pueblo people built these cliff dwellings around 1200AD. They grew corn, beans and squash on the mesa above and climbed up and down using handholds carved into the rock. I felt the fear just using the stone steps to get down and then had to climb back up 3 sets of 6 foot ladders to get back up again. As I have a fear of heights I was quite proud of myself but once was enough. The things we do for photography!
