This plateau in Mesa Verde National Park, which sits at an altitude of more than 2,600 meters, hosts the spectacular Pueblo Indian cliff dwellings. With at least 150 rooms and 21 kivas, Cliff Palace is an exceptionally large and impressive cliff dwelling. This remarkably rich landscape provides a remarkable archaeological laboratory for enhancing our understanding of the ancestral Pueblo people.

It is an amazing location, and there are rest rooms there. It makes for an amazing stop, but if you want to go and see the dwellings, you will need some bike security. Failing that, it is a good spot to park to cycle the Mesa Top Loop Road.
