Spruce Tree House - Mesa Verde

It's hard to imagine what life was like here.
They were busy people just living from day to day.
The guide told us that they made their dwellings from the rock and urine because what water they had was needed for drinking.
This is Spruce Tree House and was constructed
between 1211 AD and 1278 AD.  It contains 130 rooms and 8 kivas built into a natural alcove.  It is thought to have been the home to about 60-80 people.  It was closed for repair so we couldn't walk down. This was taken from the museum porch.
