Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

 


Walking tours at Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado are a guided, group affair. This is Cliff Palace, one of the most popular tours. The days of wandering around the park without a guide are long gone. I generally stay to the back of the group because I am taking photos. Most of the park is up over 7000 feet on a plateau and the ancient dwellings are in canyons cut into the plateau. It is amazing to contemplate how people could have built these structures by hand even given the time to do so.
