The Farming Terrace Trail in Mesa Verde National Park is a short, generally flat, 0.5-mile loop near Cedar Tree Tower that showcases the agricultural practices of the Ancestral Pueblo people. This family-friendly trail highlights ancient check dams and terraces that were built over 800 years ago to collect soil and water from summer storms, enhancing crop yields in the arid environment. With an elevation change of about 145 feet, the trail takes 30 minutes to complete and offers opportunities for wildlife viewing, including lizards and hummingbirds. Visitors should carry water, wear sturdy footwear, and stay on designated paths to protect fragile soils.
