Day 5 Mesa Verde







The drive from the entrance of the park to the visitor's center is about 40 min. The park is isolated with lots of winding road. The first dwelling we visited was the Spruce Tree House which is a self guided tour. It is the best preserved cliff dwelling. It is nice that we're able to go inside the "kiva" or underground chamber. The hike is pretty steep but also easy. There's only 2 dwellings that are open during this time of the year. As we drove around the park, we could see the other dwellings as well.
