Ranger Sarah view two rooms on the outer edge of the cliff dwellings. Evidence to suggest that they occupied the dwellings to seek relief from a drought, specifically the Great Drought of 1270-1300, which roughly aligns with the entire occupation of the Gila Cliff Dwellings.

From the trail today; a bit chilly, but only a soft breeze. Beautiful day. It was a "new to me" trail, and no one was there.

Ranger Sarah walks through Cave #3. The black on the ceiling is a heavy layer of soot from fires that were used for warmth and cooking for thousands of years.

Ranger Sarah at Cave #3. The wood beams you can see are the original beams the Mongollon used to build their roofs. A "plug" removed from one of the beams was used to date the structure to the 1280's.

Ranger Sarah at Cave #2. It is hard to see at this angle but their is a T-shaped doorway. To reach the door it is thought a ladder was used to get on a wooden balcony that supported by the wood beams you can see in the wall.

Ranger Sarah reaches cave #1. This large space that now looks open was likely an enclosed living space, and the fire pit represents the cooking area. The foundation of a small room was likely used for storage.

Down to 21°F this morning and everything is frozen, especially deep in the woods. Went for a hike to clean trails after the recent ice storm.
