Mesa Verde
Made a visit to to the canyon dwellings of Mesa Verde, which were built by the ancient Pueblo people who occupied what is now called southwest Colorado. The most popular ruins, such as Cliff Palace, are accessed only through park guided tours, so make sure to buy your tickets upon entrance to the park if you want to join one of the hourly caravans. Otherwise, the less popular structures can be viewed up close by engaging in short self guided hikes.
