Mesa Verde National Park, Arizona

What happened here is one of those stories you don’t tell because people won’t believe it anyway. I will save this memory for myself.

I will say it is hands down the most magical place I have been in the US. I’m not sure how to explain it, there is something in this place that tells your soul to smile and be still. The old gods of the Pueblo and Hopi people must still be living here to watch over their people.

While no one really knows why this place was suddenly abandoned, even the petroglyphs seem to be telling a story of happiness.
