Today, 9/3/10, we drove to Mesa Verde, purchased a Senior National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass for $10.00 and drove into the mountains. The senior pass is a lifetime pass that will allow us free entry to most national parks. I hope we get to use it often. The scenery is beautiful here, my photos do not do it justice. It was an interesting drive winding around the mountains, even through a tunnel. We stopped at the Far View Visitor Center and decided to visit Spruce Tree House cliff dwelling. The path is only 1/2 mile, but fairly step, so I just took pictures from an overlook, I did not walk all the way down since Ted didn't want to make the trip. We had lunch at Far View Terrace before our trip to the Spruce Tree House and Museum. We also went back to the Ute Mountain Casino where we had fun at the slots and tried their burritos at Kuchu's Restaurant. A very good burrito, that was so large we brought left-overs home for tomorrow's lunch. Not quite a big as Ted's famous wet burrito's but better than any others we have tried on our trip.
