This Fall we're heading back out west. COVID will be in our thoughts as we plan for adventures while we stay safe! Our plans are to head first to Colorado, then zip over to Utah. Lots of hiking and biking are planned along our route.

Hike to view Betatakin

We spent a couple of days at Navaho National Monument.  Squeezed our 30 ft RV into their campground which states maximum length of 28 feet.  Actually no problem....camped up on top of the hill and watched the sunset to a starry starry night.

The next morning, we hiked the 3 miles into the gorge where Betatakin, a 1200 AD cliff dwelling with 125 rooms sits under the "eyebrow" of the canyon.  Unlike the dwellings at Mesa Verde, these are open to Ranger led tours only.  All of the original ladders and wood ceiling supports are still intact after 800 years!  Absolutely incredible.  We were so glad that this is archeology week, so the tour was on for this Saturday.
