Cedar Tree Tower is an Ancestral Puebloan structure located on the Chapin Mesa in Mesa Verde National Park. Constructed between A.D. 1100 and 1300, this tower is typically associated with a kiva, suggesting a possible ceremonial purpose. Some theories propose that such tower-kiva complexes functioned as part of a communication system across the mesa tops. Adjacent to Cedar Tree Tower is the trailhead for the 0.5-mile Farming Terrace Trail, which showcases ancient agricultural practices, including check dams and farming terraces.
