At Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado, discover ancient cliff dwelling cities of the Ancestral Pueblo people. For near seven hundred years, these finely crafted carve-outs housed thriving communities.
We romped to views of the cliff dwelling clusters of Cliff Palace, Balcony House and Spruce Tree House at Mesa Verde National Park. From May through September, you must purchase tickets for ranger-guided access to climb long ladders and scooch through short tunnels in the popular cliff dwellings. nps.gov/meve
