Mesa Verde National Park protects over 80 square miles, more than 5,000 archaeological sites, and nearly 600 cliff dwellings, including the world-famous Cliff Palace.

Our tour was led by a quite outstanding guide. Friendly, approachable, easy to talk to and with a really deep knowledge of her field relevant to Mesa Verde, her personal skills and lucid explanations lifted the tour to another level of enjoyment. Mesa Verde is a wonderful sight to see in itself but any tour of it led by a guide as skilled and capable of imparting their passion as ours was turns good ones into special ones.
