Butler Wash Hike

We are so thankful that for various reasons Scott has had a few Saturdays off lately, yay! we wanted to do something fun and decided to go for a hike. Below are some pot shards found on the ground in a spot Scott knows. The girls love being archaeologists and finding things. I think it is amazing to find items left from possibly close to one thousand years ago just sitting there. We are always careful to leave things where they were, but we took photos.

the site, would have been an old kiva. (spiritual building)

We left that spot and drove to a place called Butler Wash. This is a developed area with a trail. We hiked to the cliff dwelling overlook. Well, Whitney rode. And she didn't want to get out at all.

The view.  It was a good day in San Juan county. I love that we can go do these things almost any time we want.
