Then: Square Tower House ruin, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado, September 15, 2009 (Pentax K10D)
The ruin is open to limited ranger guided tours in groups of no more than ten a few days a week for about 5 months each year. The strenuous 2-hour, 1-mile (1.6km) round-trip hike follows an unpaved, uneven trail that descends 100 ft. (30m), and includes steep drop-offs, switchbacks, scrambling up and down boulders, and climbing three ladders, the longest of which is 20 feet (6.1m).
