    ℹ️ About the Episode
    Mesa Verde was the first national park intended to “preserve the works of man,” in the words of Theodore Roosevelt. To this day, it’s the only park designated as a cultural park. Established in 1906, Mesa Verde offers visitors a rare chance to step inside some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the United States. These mesas were home to the Ancestral Pueblo people for over 700 years. For the first six centuries, people lived on top of the mesas. In the last 100 years, they built and lived in the cliff dwellings you can see today. No one knows why the Ancestral Pueblo abandoned these dwellings around 1300 AD. Mesa Verde offers natural beauty, too. It’s an International Dark Sky Park and home to over a thousand species, including some that live nowhere else on earth. If you visit, be sure to check out Morefield Campground. What a great time we had there!

    Our first National Park was Mesa Verde and it did not disappoint. One thing that we did learn is little dogs are more susceptible to hypoxia and the side-effect of that was literally liquid diarrhea. You can use your imagination as I add the “incident” was as we were leaving the park. I look back fondly on that trip but my wife might not because the dog was in her lap. Whenever we talk about that I giggle uncontrollably until I look over at her giving me the “evil eye”. Great memories of our RV travels!

    Mesa Verde is amazing, and the dwellings are so impressive. It’s really quite mind-blowing to see what they have been able to achieve. So many skills in such a small population! We visited Long House and Step House. Cliff Palace and Balcony House were closed so we’re going back in September to visit those. We also visited Puebloan ruins in New Mexico (Chaco Canyon and others). It was so impressive to learn more about these peoples and how they lived. All that to say, highly recommend Mesa Verde. And another fun video, thanks!

You really get to learn about the native peoples and their culture. I also was fortunate to go to a party for the archeological team that excavated the first part of Weatheral Mesa. Spent over two hours at the ruins with the head archeologist. What a learning experience.

    I visited Mesa Verde at the end of June, and your tips are spot on. I waited too late to make a tour reservation, but it is still a wonderful place to visit. The drive through the park is so beautiful. You definitely need to allow enough time to stop at all the vista points. Some areas were under construction and/or closed, so I definitely want to go back to do a ranger tour and see the places that were closed. Best of luck to Carson at Embry-Riddle!

    Great episode! Camping at Moorehead looked so wonderful, the epitome of the perfect camping environment. It’s been a long desire of mine to visit Mesa Verde. I have heard that there are places (multiple sites) within the park that look fairly close to each other “as the crow flies” but that you have to drive quite a ways around to go from one to the other. So that might be a potential planning trap to underestimate time it takes to just get from Point A to B. Looking forward to reading your blog/paper on Mesa Verde. We have a rig now that is capable of visiting these western locations, and so looking forward to visiting Colorado / Arizona / Utah / Idaho / Wyoming. We were at Custer State Park about four years ago with a smaller rig and you have been our inspiration for four or five years now. Thank you so much for showing us about so many things.

    Hi, guys! We were at Mesa Verde in April 2022, just before the tours opened for the season. It would have been GREAT to have had your blog ahead of time to know what to expect. When we first got into the NP, we thought it was pretty anticlimactic after all the great things we had heard about it….that nearly an hour drive to find the ruins nearly had my not-so-patient husband ready to turn around and leave. So glad we hung in for the rest of the drive. We are what you might call a little older, so ot sure about actually doing the more strenuous tours, but it’s something we might try when we are back out that way from home in NW Georgia. Thanks so much!

    Great video! I dig that you show your weekend warrior side of things as well. Funny that you comment about that area you drove through "looking like another planet". I was with my family with our RV in June in southeast Utah, and particularly on highway 70 north of Arches/Moab right before we turned onto 191, and we made the same comment about it being like another planet. We had similar weather, and the wind that day wow! And yeah, the roads there beat us up, but was worth it. Neat but weird feeling that area gave us ;) Felt similar "another planet" vibe around Monument Valley, and the Lake Powell and Page, AZ area.

    You folks are amazing. If anyone has wanderlust (and incredible stamina) it's certainly you people. And all that travel translates to a wonderful benefit for followers like me. Terrific composition and photography. But the best part is the family dialog and interaction. Keep travelling and all the best.
