Mesa Verde 5

Approximately 580,000 people visit Mesa Verde each year. Would you like to explore this spectacular habitation all by yourself? Try going to the site in January, which we did in November, 2006.

FROM THE INTERNET:

 

Colorado's 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 AD 600 to 1300.

 

Today the park protects nearly 5,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States.
