Experiencing Ancient Puebloan Cliff Dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park

Episode 192 is taking you to Mesa Verde National Park in Southern Colorado to experience the 800+ year old Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings. These incredibly well-preserved ancient ruins will really get you going as you walk through actual steps and pathways the Ancient Puebloan people did nearly a century before. We visited Cliff Palace, Long House, and Balcony House on this trip, all which require a guided tour. Guided tours can be booked on recreation.gov. In this episode we share what you’ll see on those tours, tips for visiting Mesa Verde National Park, and make you feel like you’re exploring the park with us.

Cortez, CO is the nearest town to Mesa Verde National Park, here are some hotels we either stayed in or considered, and that we recommend you stay in while visiting.

Baymont by Wyndham Cortez - We stayed here and really like the indoor pool and terrarium look and feel of the levels and balcony walkways.
Hampton Inn Mesa Verde/Cortez
Retro Inn at Mesa Verde - Super unique spot!

We did this trip in two days of tours, but you can fit it all in during one day! We recommend a Mesa Verde tour with Viator that gives you 9-hours through the park and dwellings with a tour guide to give you the history behind each spot.
