Last year, we visited Mesa Verde National Park. We were thrilled at the preservation of such a historical location. The Rangers were friendly and helpful and actually took the time to take this picture.
Sincerely,
Mesa Verde National Park
This World Heritage Site preserves more than 600 cliff dwellings typical of the Ancestral Puebloan culture, which lasted from about 450 to 1300. The allure of this park is not only the remarkable ruins, but also the mystery of the people who inhabited them.
State(s): Colorado
Established: 1906

Greetings from Mesa Verde National Park
This Ranger has been a NPS Ranger for a LONG time and her knowledge and wisdom are incredible! I wish I knew her name. She was giving our tour on May 23, 2015.
