Anasazi Indian Village State Park |
The Ruins |
||
| The ruins are protected by a canopy and along the path there are interpretive signs explaining the civilization that once lived here. | ||
A restored dwelling |
||
| You can walk into this restored dwelling and get an idea of how this people once lived. It’s like staying in a cheap motel. | ||
The Pit House |
||
| One of my favorite structures is the pit house, with its simple design of a dugout covered by poles and a center opening to go into and let the smoke out. I also thought the picture came out rather well, thank you. | ||
