These pictures show the Great Kiva located at the Lowry ruins. They are part of 164,000 acres of public land designated as Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in June 2000. The first picture is a plaque that explains how the Kiva was probably used. The second picture shows the ladder used to enter the Kiva. The 3rd and 4th pictures were taken to get a closer view of the stones in the center of the Kiva. The last picture capures the exterior wall of the Kiva. This ruin is about 30 minutes north west of Cortez, CO.
Travel log of our trip around USA. We became full time RVers on June 20, 2010 after sale of a home in mid-Michigan. We also sold most of our belongings by holding an auction. Our goal is to visit as much of the USA as possible and keep a record of our trip. We have converted most of our personal records to paperless. Currently former neighbors are forwarding mail.
