The Acoma mesa rises 367 feet from the road to the top. It's less than a 10 minute hike. ("much less if you fall" as our guide Dale Sanchez warned us) Yes, I slid down on my butt for part of it. It's STEEP!

My knees are killing me. I think it was a combination of uneven steps and being very, very careful. I am not the most graceful person, so I have to take extra care. A fall on rocks would definitely be a major ouch. Oy.

Time a for a long soak. Where's the jacuzzi tub when you need one? *g*
