June 2012 -we were primarily trying to visit nationalparks on our trip, so we did not drive much south into New Mexico. However we visited Aztec ruins NM, which also belongs to the WHS. Quite interesting excavations, Museum and possibility to enter all houses. It was a nice stopover before going back to Colorado, where we still visited the great Wild Western Town of Durango. We vben drove further to Mesa Verde that day, so it is all in rather short distance from each other.
