Mesa Verde - Long House

Long House

To end the day, we took the last tour of the day over on Wetherill Mesa.  It was much further away from anything because it was at the end of the mesa, so if I recall correctly it took about an hour just to get there.  Then we took a tram (open-air bus) to where our tour would begin a 4 p.m.   It seemed that for most of the tour we were actually behind the dwellings under an alcove. Water would seep through the rock, as you can see, and moss would grow as a result. In the picture above we were waiting for the other group ahead of us to exit the dwelling.
