View of a Native American (Ute) scouting party mounted on horseback as they cross the Los Pinos river, La Plata County, Colorado; three men have rifles, one a pistol; men wear moccasins, fringed leggings, blankets, shirts, and braided hair; some have feathers in their hair; all horses have bridles and saddles.

View, facing southeast, of ancient Native American (Anasazi) cliff dwellings before excavation on Chapin Mesa, Mesa Verde National Park, Montezuma County, Colorado. The stone masonry and mud mortar Cliff Palace pueblo homes stand underneath a cliffside overhang. The cylindrical and square ruins have square and T-shaped door openings. Crumbled masonry litters the ground.
