Tips

Mesa Verde is unlike every other national park in the US. Most of the other parks you enjoy with stunning natural monuments and a scenic backcountry. Mesa Verde was established to protect archeological sites and artifacts like the cliff dwellings from the Ancestral Pueblo people. Visit the Balcony House, the Cliff Palace, the Long House, the Spruce Tree House and the Step House. Mesa Verde has tons of view points and some good hiking trails, so you can easily spend a whole day here.
