El Paso Trip-Day 5

Wednesday morning we drove from our hotel in Silver City up the mountains for a tour of the Gila Cliff dwellings.  
It started off a bit cold (you can see the snow and icicles in the shade), but we had to hurry a bit to make it in time and we warmed up quickly.
The dwellings were so well hidden away, it was amazing they were ever discovered.
The kids had a lot of questions for the tour guide, as they were very excited about earning their junior ranger badge and wanted to make sure they had all the information the needed to fill out their books.
Back down at the gift shop they were passed off and sworn in as junior rangers.
On our way back to El Paso that afternoon we stopped at the City of Rocks State Park.
It turned out to be a very fun place for the kids to run and climb and explore.
