Mesa Verde National Park, CO
Step back in time and imagine the land of the ancient people who inhabited this stunning region.
Mesa Verde, Spanish for green table, offers a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years, from A.D. 600 to A.D. 1300. Today, the park protects over 4,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States.
Join us on this amazing journey back in time and imagine yourself as one of the ancients tending your crops on a faming terrace or relaxing with the spectacular views from high atop in your cliff dwelling.
Approximately 600 of the over 4700 archeological sites found in Mesa Verde National Park are cliff dwellings. Other sites include mesa top pueblos, farming terraces, towers, reservoirs, and check dams.
