Mesa Verde in Colorado, USA

Mesa Verda is a US national park and historical site in the southwest corner of Colorado in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. The park contains ruins of homes for the Anasazi, the ancient Pueblo Indian people.

Mesa Verde (Spanish: "Green Table") was the home of a cliff-dwelling people who were the ancestorsof the modern Indian tribe, the Pueblos. Mesa Verda National Park has over 4,700 archeological sites - including 600 cliff dwellings. They date from a period between 600 AD and 1300 AD.

While the park allows only restricted access to the archeological sites, you can still see many of them. Seven hiking trails in the park allow visitors to get a sense of what Mesa Verde has to offer. The park also has the largest campground in the US National Parks system.

The park's weather is relatively mild. Elevations in the park range from about 6,100 feet to about 8,400 feet. Its location not far from the New Mexico border means that the summers are not too warm and the winters are not too cold.

Many visitors to Mesa Verde prefer to see it in winter. Cross-country skiing in the park is a major past time. Whether you're there in the summer or the winter, the park's abundant animal life is also a major attraction.
