See Mesa Verde National Park—Colorado’s only UNESCO World Heritage site—through the lens of both history and archaeology. Mesa Verde has more than 4,000 archaeological sites, and we’ll visit both mesa-top sites and cliff dwellings. We’ll delve into the history behind Mesa Verde’s “rediscovery” and how that captivated people around the world. A stop at the new visitor’s center will allow us to see long-stored artifacts and experience Ancestral Puebloan culture. Enjoy the adventure of this special trip with the camaraderie of a smaller-sized group during the cooler days of fall.
Space is limited. Includes three nights’ lodging at the Far View Lodge, guiding services, entrance fees and five meals, including a Welcome Dinner. No bus transportation provided. This trek requires you to drive to the starting point and from site to site.
