Long House is the second-largest of the Mesa Verde dwellings.
Wetherill Mesa ranger "kiosk". This is definitely the quiet part of the park.
Heading down into the canyon toward Long House.
An interesting structure high up in Long House.
This pile of wood collected at the site is over 700 years old.
The spring that sustained the builders is still running at the rear of the dwelling.
The chaotic and evolutionary design of the builders is apparent from this perspective.
Human fingers shaped this mortar 700 years ago. Some places have visible fingerprints.
View of Long House.
Long House has about 150 rooms.
It is fun to climb up and down the ladders in this ruin (not possible in Cliff Palace).
