Mesa Verde National Park kicked off the National Park Service Centennial with the illumination of Cliff Palace on Wednesday, Dec. 9th.
To my knowledge, there have only been two “illuminations” of the famous cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde National Park. The first was done in 2006.
The weather was fairly warm. When Marilyn and I arrive about an hour and a half before the lighting was to take place, every possible tripod spot was already taken. Thanks to some nice folks at one end, I was able to squeeze in to the endless chain of tripod legs and camera bags.

Oh how beautiful this is all lit up! How magical, and wonderful that you two were able to be there for this wonderful, and rare lighting.

Thanks you, Deborah. Maybe sometime you can come and see it during the daylight and/or see the Spruce Tree House illumination that they do once each year in December.
