SwitchbackKids .'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Comfort, Quiet, and Quick Access to Mesa Verde Trails & Landmarks
Mesa Verde National Park was our second stop on our year-long trip to visit all 59 national parks. We were pleasantly surprised with the comfort, quiet and access to great hiking trails that Morefield Campground provided. According to the NPS website, the campground rarely fills, and when we visited in August 2015, it was nearly empty. We chose a site in the tents-only loop to ensure a quiet environment. The sites are scenic and spread out, so we had no trouble with solitude. From the campground, it is easy to access some of the best hikes in the park: we loved 7.8-mile Prater Ridge Trail and 2-mile Point Lookout Trail, both accessed from the Morefield trailhead. Yes, you should definitely spend time visiting the cliff dwellings (we liked the Long House hike & bike tour on less-frequented Wetherill Mesa and the Balcony House tour on Chapin Mesa in particular!) but hiking is an underrated way to experience this park. The views at Morefield itself are not necessarily jaw-dropping, and it certainly doesn’t feel too rustic (free showers, coin laundry, and a general store) but it is a comfortable, convenient, and quiet campground that serves as a perfect launching-off point for exploring beautiful and historic Mesa Verde.

US Highway 160 - Cortez - Mesa Verde - Colorado | Drive America's Highways ????
???? Drive America's Highways on the Trail of the Ancients and the San Juan Skyway (US-160) for 9 miles east from State Highway 145 to the Mesa Verde National Park Visitors Center in Colorado ⛰️
The Trail of the Ancients is a National Scenic Byway located in the states of Colorado and Utah. The route highlights the archaeological and cultural history of southwestern Native American peoples and traverses the widely diverse geological landscape of the Four Corners region. It was the first National Scenic Byway that was designated solely for its archaeological sites. The entire route is approximately 480 miles --Wikipedia
The San Juan Skyway is an All-American Road and a component in the Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway System. It forms a 233.0-mile (375.0 km) loop in the southwest part of the U.S. state of Colorado traversing the heart of the San Juan Mountains. It roughly parallels the routes of the narrow gauge railways: Rio Grande Southern (US 160, SH 145 and SH 62); and the unconnected Ouray and Silverton Branches of the Denver & Rio Grande along US 550 with the Silverton Railroad bridging a part of the gap. Its origin can be traced to the Around the Circle Route promoted by the D&RG. --Wikipedia

Mesa Verde & The Orion Temple
The Ancestral Puebloans/ Anasazi built an amazing city about 1,000 years ago. Just as the Mound Builders, Orion seems to have played a key role in their astronomy. Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado.
In 1906 Mesa Verde National Park became the first park set aside(by Teddy Roosevelt) for the preservation of the sites and the other works and relics of prehistoric man. Today its importance as a focal point of research on Anasazi culture and land use cannot be overestimated. In 1978 it was designated a World Heritage Cultural Site by UNESCO.

Mesa Verde National Park | Cliff Dwelling | Four Corners@One of our Greatest Trip
A must visit for an amazing place here in Montezuma County, Colorado, USA
I'm Just one of the luck one here in the universe to see the best preserved Ancestral Puebloan Archaeological sites in the United States.
Mesa Verde is the only National Park dedicated to preserving the villages and objects hand-built by ancient civilizations thousand years ago. Mesa Verde National Park is in southwest Colorado.It's known for its well-preserved Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings, notably the huge Cliff Palace. The Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum has exhibits on the ancient Native American culture. Mesa Top Loop Road winds past archaeological sites and overlooks, including Sun Point Overlook with panoramic canyon views. Petroglyph Point Trail has several rock carvings. Tree-ring dating indicates that construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace was continuous approximately from 1190 CE through 1260 CE, although the major portion of the building was done within a 20-year time span. The Ancestral Pueblo that constructed this cliff dwelling and the others like it at Mesa Verde were driven to these defensible positions by "increasing competition amidst changing climatic conditions".Cliff Palace was abandoned by 1300, and while debate remains as to the causes of this, some believe that a series of mega droughts interrupting food production systems is the main cause. Cliff Palace was rediscovered in 1888 by Richard Wetherill and Charlie Mason.

The Ancient Villages in Mesa Verde National Park, USA
The Ancient Villages in Mesa Verde National Park, USA
Mesa Verde National Park is a U.S. National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site Located in the area known as the Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah meet, Mesa Verde is the only national park in the U.S. devoted exclusively to archaeology. One glance at the intricately constructed multistorey homes in the rocky cliffs shows why. With close to 4,000 known archaeological sites, it’s the largest such preserve in the United States. Mesa Verde is best known for cliff dwellings, which are structures built within caves and under outcroppings in cliffs — including Cliff Palace, thought to be the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The Spanish term Mesa Verde translates into English as green table. It is considered to contain some of the most notable and best preserved archaeological sites. The members of the Ancestral Pueblo culture formerly known by the name Navajo Anasazi, which was developed in this place between 6th to the 12th century, created astounding masonry buildings in alcoves in the canyon walls. Storage rooms and kivas, circular underground chambers, accompanied the living quarters. Many of the alcoves face south, allowing them to capture precious sunlight in winter and avoid the summer glare. Residents grew corn, beans and squash, using dry-land farming techniques and left-behind pottery painted with delicate geometric designs.
The exceptional archaeological sites of the Mesa Verde landscape provide eloquent testimony to the ancient cultural traditions of Native American tribes. They represent a graphic link between the past and present ways of life of the Puebloan Peoples of the American south-west. The area was declared a park in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt to protect some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the world, or as he said, preserve the works of man. It is the only cultural National Park set aside by the National Park System. It occupies 81.4 square miles or 211 square kilometer near the Four Corners and features numerous ruins of homes and villages built by the Ancient Pueblo peoples, sometimes called the Anasazi. The six-mile Mesa Top Loop Road passes a number of interesting points and easily accessible, including pithouses (covered dwellings partially dug into the ground) and panoramic views.
The Anasazi inhabited Mesa Verde between 600 to 1300, though there is evidence they left before the start of the 15th century. They were mainly subsistence farmers, growing crops on nearby mesas. Their primary crop was corn, the major part of their diet. Men were also hunters, which further increased their food supply. The women of the Anasazi are famous for their elegant basket weaving. Anasazi pottery is as famous as their baskets; their artifacts are highly prized. The Anasazi kept no written records. By the year 750 the people were building mesa-top villages made of adobe. In the late 1190s they began to build the cliff dwellings for which Mesa Verde is famous.
