Take a walk back in time and explore the rich history of the ancestral Puebloans at Mesa Verde National Park.

Take a step back in time

Choose between two unforgettable experiences to discover the ancient wonders of Mesa Verde National Park. Each tour offers a deep dive into the history and culture of the Ancestral Puebloans at Mesa Verde National Park. 

Whichever tour you choose, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the fascinating history and incredible ingenuity of the Ancestral Puebloans. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in North America.

Driving Tour

Sit back and relax as our knowledgeable guides take you on a scenic drive through the park, stopping at key archaeological sites, breathtaking overlooks, and well-preserved cliff dwellings. Learn about the rich history, daily life, and architectural mastery of the Ancestral Puebloans while enjoying the stunning landscapes of Mesa Verde.

Hiking Tour

For those seeking a more adventurous experience, embark on a guided hike along the Petroglyph Point Trail. On this tour, you will trek along high desert terrain, admire ancient rock art, and gain insights into the spiritual and cultural significance of the petroglyphs left behind by the Ancestral Puebloans. This hike offers a perfect blend of adventure, history, and breathtaking views.

The 2.4-mile (3.9 km) loop trail is narrow, partially rugged, and rocky, with several steep drop-offs along the canyon wall on the way to the petroglyph panel. After the panel, you’ll scramble up a large stone staircase using your hands and feet to climb to the top, then enjoy an easy return along the mesa top to complete the loop.

Additional Information

Note: Please be prepared for winding roads, high elevations, and strong sun exposure. Temperatures at Mesa Verde are typically about 10 degrees warmer than at the Ranch, so plan accordingly.

Don’t forget to bring your wallet if you’d like to purchase souvenirs from the park’s Gift Shop.

Mesa Verde tours depart earlier than other morning activities due to their length. Rest assured, our counselors will be available to keep your little ones entertained and cared for at the Ranch while you’re away. These tours are a fantastic experience, but often best enjoyed as an adult adventure. Let us know if you have any specific questions about the tour or whether your little one would enjoy joining in. We are always happy to provide more specific details.
