Today we drove north on Highway 491 and found the Lowry Ruins that are located on publicly owned land designated as Canyons of the Ancients National Monuement. We ended up on a gravel trail that led us to the Lowry Ruins. It is a very interesting pueblo ruin you can actually walk inside. Placques located around the ruin exlained that it probably began as a few small rooms for one family and then gradually "additions" were added until the pueblo became a community. The next two blogs show pictures inside the pueblo ruin and also the Great Kiva that was located nearby. There are very clean restrooms and picnic areas located at the ruin site, but you need to bring your own water, food, etc. We had water and snacks with us. There was no charge to visit this ruin. We are enjoying this area and have decided to stay here until after the Labor Day holiday is over. We will also avoid the holiday rush traffic by waiting until next Tuesday to move on with our travels. We still haven't decided where we are going next. It's really nice to have no time table for this portion of our trip.
