Mesa Verde and Four Corners
The next place on our adventure was Mesa Verde and the Four Corners Monument. Mesa Verde is a national park which has multiple pueblos that around 600 years old. It was an amazing historical site, and I am so fortunate that I was able to see it. In order to get to the pueblos, we had to hike down a trail that was about two and a half miles total. This is one of the few places we visited that did not have a tour guide – the tours were each 4 hours long and we did not book it in time unfortunately. The best part was being able to see the petroglyphs on the rocks halfway through the hiking trail, and being able to see the dwellings.
The four corners was a quick trip to finish off the rest of the day. We were able to stand in 4 different states at once – Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. There were many vendors at the site, and all of them were Navajo people who had actually made the things that they were selling.
