One of the rugged canyons that split up Mesa Verde
As you make the drive around Mesa Verde, there are a number of overlooks into canyons with ciff dwelling ruins. This is one of several visible at one overlook.
As you drove up toward the pass along the Delores River, you got deeper into the mountains and there was more and more fall color. The Yellow aspens contrast with the darkness of the spruce/fir forest.
