Leaving the Organ Mountains in the rear view mirror, we headed to El Paso, then Pancho Villa State Park museum for a history lesson, Rock City for a picnic lunch, and up the next mountain range to another National Monument.

A late afternoon stroll to the Cliff Dwellings was the perfect time of day to experience the hike and the sunlight.

The architecture is so fascinating. A volunteer guide was present to make sure we did not miss some of the details.

Amazing stone work. This dwelling was not lived in for very long.

A panorama of the setting sun over the wilderness. We spent the night in the campground and hiked another canyon in the morning.
