Back to the Sinagua people again. This time they've built dwellings into the cliff caves of this canyon. The walk to them takes you on a treacherous and beautiful trail around the cliffs to the dwellings. The people lived here about 800 years ago and only for 100 years. We wondered if their short stay had something to do with the treacherous drop-offs at their doorsteps. It was a fun walk and we got to go right into the caves where the ceilings are stained black with their fires, making history fun!
