Yesterday we hiked Mesa del Rito at Bandelier. SO many ruins on the mesa! All unexcavated, so you have to use a little imagination to see their shape, but this one looked like it might have once been a kiva. We also managed to find the old sign that once, I'm told, gave mileages to Painted Cave (10) and Stone Lions (7) though it's completely unreadable now. Also, lots of cranes still migrating. And way too much cliff-scaling crossing various fingers of Lummis Canyon.

@akkana Is there a plan to excavate all of them eventually? Are there recognized tribes in the area who claim kinship with the folks who built the ruins?
