From the outside, it looks rather sturdy, but after looking inside, it's clear that too much time has passed to allow these buildings to be renovated and used for low-income housing or housing for vets leaving the service and have nowhere to go. It's a shame. In spite of the wealth of the area (central California) there's still a community in need of homes here, just like everywhere else.

May 8, 2023: Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Manitou Springs, Colorado.

Built between 1904-1907, The Manitou Cliff Dwellings is a privately owned tourist attraction with a recreated Anasazi cliff dwelling, museum, and gift shop. Visitors can walk and climb through the recreated cliff dwellings. The cliff dwellings are based on actual examples found in Mesa Verde National Park and similar preserved sites.

The Anasazi, also known as the Ancestral Puebloans, lived in the Four Corners area of the American Southwest from about 1200 BC to AD 1300.
