Short stop at Sand Canyon Pueblo

This morning on the last day of our trip we splurge for a breakfast in a restaurant. The chosen restaurant looks like in the beginning of a horror movie with townfolk gathered and looking at us with suspicion, or at least it feels that way, but the food is good and soon we are on our way unscathed.

This day is dedicated to the different ancient ruins in the Cortez area and we start with Sand Canyon Pueblo in Canyon of the Ancients National Monument. We walk just a short bit on a long trail to the first pueblo. Here we see how an unexcavated pueblo looks like it is surprising how unassuming it is. You can barely notice the ruins in the vegetation but with the interpretative signs we get a good idea how the pueblo looked in its heyday.
