Review:
Colorado is a beautiful state. It is the proud home to four national parks, as well as several other national monuments, and although Mesa Verde National Park doesn’t draw quite so many visitors as Rocky Mountain National Park to the north, it is a beautiful and culturally rich place in its own right, and it’s definitely worth a trip. Mesa Verde National Park is most famous for the cliff dwellings that were once home to Ancestral Puebloans, and visitors can view the cliff dwellings from a distance or purchase tickets for a guided tour with a ranger who will take them up close. Hiking and biking trails abound within the park, with views of the cliff dwellings, gorgeous ridges, canyons, and mesas, and even a petroglyph site.
