Painted Hand House

Dear Friends: Vacation is great. Back packed up to Sand Canyon Pueblo Friday night. Got there by 9pm. It was an amazing night and hike. Temperatures in the 70's for much of hike. Perfect time to be there, though unseasonably cool. Planned that! Packed back next day. Along the way saw many pueblo cliff structures. People here in the 1200's sure knew how to pick their places.
