Review:
Mesa Verde National Park is a delightful national park stretching across 52,485 acres near the American Southwest's Four Corners region in southwestern Colorado. The park, which was established in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt, is home to more than 5,000 amazing indigenous cliff dwellings and architectural sites, making it the largest archaeological site in the United States. Over 600 spectacular cliff dwellings have been preserved in their original condition, including the massive Cliff Palace, thought to be North America's largest indigenous cliff dwelling. Visitors can learn about indigenous American culture at the Chapin Mesa Archaeological Museum or travel beautiful Mesa Top Loop Road of a bird's-eye view of sites at overlook points like Sun Point Overlook.
