{ 4-7} { 8-9} { 10-up} PART 3: Draw the type of house you would most like to live in.
Activity can be done at any cliff dwelling.
{ Gentle Rain} Gentle Rain: Visit a cliff dwelling, such as Spruce Tree House, to see many of the same things I did when I lived here. Remember to be a good steward by not touching, climbing, or leaning on the walls.
_Directions_—Look for the items below and place an “X” over the ones you find. Find four in a row across or diagonally.

{ Kathy} Kathy: For some time, it was thought that Gentle Rain’s family and the rest of the Ancestral Pueblo people simply vanished from Mesa Verde. We now know that they migrated south over 700 years ago. Their descendants include the Rio Grande Pueblos in New Mexico, the Hopi in Arizona, and the Ysleta del Sur in Texas.
_Directions_—Follow the paths through the maze from Mesa Verde to find the present-day locations of the Ancestral Puebloans’ descendants. You must travel through and find at least one Ancestral Puebloan item along the way to each pueblo, and avoid any modern items.
{ 8-9} Find the Hopi and Rio Grande Pueblos.
{ 10-up} Find the Hopi, Rio Grande, and Ysleta del Sur Pueblos.
