Aztec Ruins National Monument

Last Friday I came to Aztec to visit the Aztec Ruins National Monument.  The name is a misnomer - the buildings were actually built by ancestral Puebloans, back in the 11th-13th centuries, but named by settlers who mistakenly thought they were created by Aztecs from Mexico.

There's a great walk through the ruins, using a guidebook, which gives you access to several indoor rooms. That's a first for me - being able to go INSIDE Indian ruins.
