Comb Ridge

Last weekend we headed down to Comb ridge to watch the cottonwoods leaf out, listen to coyotes and look for more ruins of the Ancient Ones.


This is a ruin that I have been looking for for a few years and finally found it. It is amazingly well preserved and nearly impossible to get into. One of the things that intrigues me almost more than the structures themselves is there setting and the places these people chose to build their dwellings. This ruin is perched right on top a a 200 plus foot vertical cliff with a small set of steps chipped into the rocks to access them. The snow covered Abajos are in the background.
