A panoramic image in New Mexico

I captured this image of a mountain near the Red Mesa Verde in New Mexico while visiting a Native American reservation. The shape is unique as I am accustomed to seeing mountains of rock.

The face carved on the mountain on a Native American reservation

Visited a Native American reservation in Colorado and photographed this image of a face carved on the mountain. Now that was really high for Native Americans to get to make the carving with primitive tools! I am sure it is a face and it is indeed a carving.

Mountains on Native American Reservation in New Mexico

This was a fantastic view of mountains near the Red Mesa Verde in New Mexico on a Native American reservation that I photographed. The reservation is still owned by generations of the original tribe the land belonged to and retains its independent state of no trespassing. Generations later, great great grandchildren as members of the original tribe offer tours to the public for a small fee. It was a sunny day as is evident in the image!

Mountain Vista in Colorado

I photographed this image hiking the desert trails of the Mesa Verde on Native American lands in Colorado. It made for a perfect mountain vista against blue skies and low hanging clouds. There was greenery on the desert, albeit, shrubs and grasses. The lands are treated as a museum to visit with live tours, but ownership is retained by the Native Americans (to the tribal members) from generation to generation to whom the lands originally belonged. It made for an interesting tour that I greatly enjoyed in learning about the historical lessons of a people from long ago and their culture, lifestyle, and a will to live evident in their native ways. I wish to return and to continue to visit other Native American tribal lands. I urge everybody to do this at least once in a lifetime. It is a great learning experience and a fundamental for children on family vacations. There is plenty to do in these areas where nature and wildlife abound.
