6/10/2025 Discover Mesa Verde National Park

Our Mesa Verde Local Tour Guide introduced us 

to the first archaeological park established in our National Parks System and designated a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978.

Mesa Verde, Spanish for "Green Table," offers an unparalleled opportunity to see and experience a unique cultural landscape through the best-preserved archaeological site in the United States. 

The Cliff Palace

More than 1,000 years ago, a group of people built complex stone villages sheltered in recesses and alcoves high along the sheer cliff walls.

Cliff Palace

As many as 24 Native American tribes can trace their ancestry 

to these cliff-dwellers, but it was the first Europeans who arrived 

in the 1800s, whose discovery brought worldwide attention.
