    Tips

    December 7, 2022

    Nodenskiöld House is named after the Swedish scientist, Gustaf Nodenskiöld, who first excavated the overhanging cliffs found in Mesa Verde National Park. Along with the Wetherill family, his actions would lead to the first federal law for the protection of cultural resources, as well as the creation of the national park.

    This overlook is a great place from which to view the ancient dwellings and is only a short walk from the Wetherill Mesa kiosk.
