Ep. 100: Canyons of the Ancients | National Monument Colorado RV travel camping

Our big 100th episode of Grand Adventure was supposed to be about both Canyons of the Ancients AND Hovenweep National Monuments, but our RV had other ideas. While camping at Mancos State Park, and en route to another camp at Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, we visit the Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center and Museum, tour the Lowry Pueblo ruins that date to the 10th Century, and hike to more ruins in the National Monument's Sand Canyon before our RV left us on the side of the road.

Travel Colorado - Visiting Mesa Verde National Park

Take a tour of Mesa Verde in Colorado, United States -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Southwestern Colorado serves as the backdrop for Mesa Verde, one of the great windows into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people.

Meaning green table, Mesa Verde was first discovered by Spanish explorers moving west to California.

However, it wasn't until the late 19th century that the famous cliff dwellings, like the Cliff Palace, were discovered.

The cliff dwellings, built under rocky outcroppings and in caves, were home to the natives for hundreds of years.

Hard sandstone and adobe were the main building materials for these houses.

Though much of the ruins are well-preserved, much vandalism and theft took place in the early years of the area's discovery.

To protect this piece of history, Mesa Verde was named a U.S. National Park in 1906, and is a National Historic Landmark today.
