I can't remember how high the mesa is from the ground, but it is high enough to provide a clear view of the expanse of land on every side. It is breathtaking.


One of those breathtaking views ...

Um, Walter, potable loos was probably a poor choice of words. :wink:

The last two photos are just what I was hoping for. That view almost makes you think you can fly.

Indeed. Including my usual typos. (In Germany and German it's "Dixi-Klo".) Laughing

One of my favourite photos - at least from Acoma.
(It's actually the family home of our tour guide some of her relatives starting with repair works.)

There's not a lot of water up there - water generally has to be carried up (pictured here one of the two "water reservoirs") ...

Another of those breathtaking views - that house actually really is built 'on the edge' ..

Some more doors, steps and ladders, then we've seen most and can move downwards.

I climbed down the rock steps also and was glad that Sue did not, as she would have been similarly terrified.

This couple was at first in front of me (I've been the last of a group of six, because I wanted to take photos, if possible) ...

I had my camera stripped around my neck, btw, and the rucksack with the lenses hog-tied on my back.

Done!

These children from the village wanted to go up, home. They had waited for me because they "didn't want to frighten me while taking pictures".

Nice.
