    Great stop on your vacation! The Pueblo culture is really fascinating! The Museum looked like you could spend quite awhile there and learn a lot! It’s great when the have artifacts to help tell the story and sketches of what the buildings and kivas probably looked like. Nice that you could get up to a couple of the areas and walk around inside- we’ve visited a few too- they’re impressive- great views too! 😄☀️☀️

    Great tour of the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument 👍 The artifacts like pottery and bone tools were so fascinating. I love how the trails, like the one to Escalante Pueblo, are accessible with resting spots, such a thoughtful touch. The views of the snowy peaks from the ruins 😍 truly a ‘ruin with a view.’ The Lowry Pueblo was even more impressive, its size and the preserved wooden beams inside. Thanks for sharing this amazing mix of history, nature, and adventure!

      Thanks. This was a great plan B from our original planned route over the Million Dollar Highway in a significant winter like storm. Glad we chose the safer route back home. It is pretty neat to see these ruins and the amazing views. The artifacts are pretty awesome as well. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching.

      Thanks. You would love exploring the Canyons of the Ancients region especially with all the Petroglyph sites you like to explore. There are so many ruin sites and canyon down here that would be loaded with them. I hope you make it down here to explore some. Have a great day.

    A whole lot of history in that musicum and some it it quite an age to it too. One thing for sure you would never get lost going to those old ruins and some great views from there as well. Cheers Alan

    • @Packsalot
      @Packsalot  Місяць тому

      Thanks Alan. We were surprised to learn that this was just one of hundreds of sites in the region. Though not quite as old as the ruins you see back in your area but still pretty amazing at how they have stood through time. They are fun to explore and still see today. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

      Thanks. There are so many ruin sites to explore. I was amazed at how busy the Lowry Pueblo was considering we drove 30 minutes down a partially two track road to get there. Pretty cool to see the kivas are still there. Have a great day.

    Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, a breathtaking testament to the region's rich cultural and natural history. This vast landscape is home to one of the highest densities of archaeological sites in North America, with ancient Puebloan ruins, rock art, and ceremonial structures scattered across its rugged terrain. Beyond its historical significance, the monument stunning vistas, diverse wildlife, and opportunities for hiking, photography, and quiet reflection. It's a place where the past and the present seamlessly intertwine, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the lives of the Ancestral Puebloans while showcasing the raw beauty of the high desert.

    Nice and interesting visitor center. We love the Escalante area. Lovely hike you did. The ruins are always neat to see. Love the mountain views in the distance. That was cool you could go in those structures. Great place to visit! Have a wonderful day!

    • @Packsalot
      @Packsalot  Місяць тому

      Thanks. It is a beautiful area. Lots to explore and see. The ruins are pretty impressive to see. Supper neat that they are still here today. Those high peaks would have been awesome to see from the Million Dollar Hwy but the storms were just too snowy. We will plan another time for that adventure. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

    Lots of information. Pretty cool to see the needles and tools! Love the ruins (I haven't seen much of them). High peaks and snow are always a "difficult option" hahaha. Thanks for sharing my friend. Have a great week.

    • @Packsalot
      @Packsalot  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks Alex. It was a pretty interesting place to check out. Th museum was full of information. We originally had planned to drive over the Rockies on the Million Dollar Highway but it snowed over a foot in the storm and the roads would have been iffy at best. Seeing the ruins in the desert was a great alternate route! haha. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

    Love the Peublos, fantastic structures - some views from there Steve. Imagine living there and seeing that landscape every day. Amazing area again.
    I also loved the pottery and other artefacts. Some of those very beautiful!!

    Nice little visitor center. Lots of stuff in there to see. Sure is some pretty views. Those ruins are awesome. It's interesting that they thought to make so many rooms and things. You would think they would have just maybe built up 4 walls and been done. But it's much more advanced than that. Nice lightning storm warning. Having shelves is even more advanced. And built into the walls even. That's really neat. It's so cool that you can walk through all this stuff self guided. Wow that Kiva is huge! What a great place to explore. Very interesting bit of history.

    • @Packsalot
      @Packsalot  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks. This visitors center had a whole bunch of stuff in there. So many artifacts and info boards to read. More reading than I was willing to do. LOL> Now hiking and exploring the ruin sites was more my style. It is amazing how they built these structures and where they built them too. Pretty amazing. Glad they are still standing today. 4 walls and done would have been much easier! LOL. Take care and have a great day.
