Tours Of Mesa verde national park

Mesa Verde National Park offers an entirely unique experience both naturally and historically. The park is a cross section of over 700 years of history. The archaeological sites found in this area are some of the most well preserved and striking in the country. The park spans about 52,073 acres of Federal land and was established to preserve artifacts left by the “Pre-Columbian Indians.” These artifacts and sites include the infamous cliff dwellings, which are built directly into canyon depressions, but also encompass a variety of different dwellings from different periods.

There are over 4,000 known archeological sites in Mesa Verde; excavation on most of these sites is still currently in progress. Available activities include bird watching, camping, hiking, guided tours of the park, nature walks, stargazing and wildlife viewing in addition to exploring the ruins. The entrance to the park is 9 miles east of Cortez and 35 miles west of Durango in Southwestern Colorado on US Highway 160.
