Mesa Verde lights up

Luminaries light the path as it zig-zags down to Spruce Tree House for the annual Mesa Verde National Park Holiday Open House last Thursday.

M-CHS students Blair Rice and Arica Dean light candles in the luminaria bags to mark the path leading to the Spruce Tree House.

A luminaria catches fire and was quickly put out with handfulls of snow.

Snow frames Spruce Tree House as the ruin is lit up for the Luminaria Open House.

Kay Barnett places a lantern inside Spruce Tree House for the open house.
