Ancestral Pueblo People
of Mesa Verde
Mesa Verde, Spanish for
green table, offers a spectacular
look into the lives of the
Ancestral Pueblo people
who made it their home for
over 700 years, from
AD 600 to 1300.
Today the park protects
nearly 5,000 known
archeological sites,
including 600 cliff dwellings.
These sites are some
of the most notable and
best preserved in the
United States.
About 1,400 years ago,
long before Europeans explored
North America, a group
of people living in the
Four Corners region chose
Mesa Verde for their home.
For more than 700 years
they and their descendants
lived and flourished here,
eventually building elaborate
stone communities in the
sheltered alcoves of the
canyon walls.
Then, in the late A.D. 1200s,
in the span of a generation
or two, they left their homes
and moved away.
Mesa Verde National Park
preserves a spectacular
reminder of this ancient culture.
It occupies 81.4 square miles
(211 km2) near the Four Corners
and features numerous ruins
of homes and villages built
by the Ancient
Pueblo peoples,
sometimes called the Anasazi.

Mesa Verde Petroglyph Point
Slideshow of the Petroglyph Point trail in Mesa Verde National Park. The trail traverses around the cliffs of the mountain at the same level as the cliff dwellings, passing right through several formaly inhabited areas, to a panel of rock art. At that point the trail climbs up to the top of the mesa and passes above the same dwellings as it makes its way back to the Spruce Tree House parking area.

A view across Soda Canyon onto Balcony House and the mesa. The walk to this overlook was quite solitary and quiet. No tourists, just the wind blowing through the scrub brush. The view across the canyon to Balcony House is superb!

Geologic Overlook in Mesa Verde National Park Panoramic View
Mesa Verde National Park's Chapin Mesa Region
While much of Europe was still in the dark ages, the Ancestral Pueblo people of the southwestern US were building multi-story structures with stone age tools. It seems their advancements and way of life came to an abrupt end just after they perfected their construction methods. The palaces they built have remained mostly stable for 800 years. Some of these, like Spruce Tree House have been restored somewhat and the park service allows you to walk through large sections of them, even down ladders into the ceremonial chambers. Others, such as in Soda or Cliff Canyons, you can only see across the many viewpoints. Filmed April 15th and 16th, 2013.

Mesa Verde National Park is a U.S. National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Montezuma County, Colorado. It protects some of the best preserved Ancestral Puebloan archeological sites in the United States.
The park was created by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It occupies 52,485 acres (21,240 ha) near the Four Corners region, and with more than 4,000 sites and 600 cliff dwellings, it is the largest archeological preserve in the US. Mesa Verde (Spanish for green table) is best known for structures such as Cliff Palace, thought to be the largest cliff dwelling in North America.
Starting c. 7,500 BCE, Mesa Verde was seasonally inhabited by a group of nomadic Paleo-Indians known as the Foothills Mountain Complex. The variety of projectile points found in the region indicates they were influenced by surrounding areas, including the Great Basin, the San Juan Basin, and the Rio Grande Valley. Later, Archaic people established semi-permanent rockshelters in and around the mesa. By 1,000, the Basketmaker culture emerged from the local Archaic population, and by 750 CE the Ancestral Puebloans had developed from the Basketmaker culture.
The Mesa Verdeans survived by utilizing a combination of hunting, gathering, and subsistence farming of crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They built the mesa's first pueblos sometime after 650, and by the end of the 12th century they began to construct the massive cliff dwellings for which the park is best known. By 1285, following a period of social and environmental instability driven by a series of severe and prolonged droughts, they abandoned the area and moved south to locations in Arizona and New Mexico, including Rio Chama, Pajarito Plateau, and Santa Fe.
