***About Mesa Verde National Park

***: Mesa Verde National Park, located in Montezuma County, Colorado, is renowned for its well-preserved Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings, particularly the famous Cliff Palace. Established as a National Park in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt, it aims to “preserve the works of man.” The park stretches over 52,485 acres and features numerous ruins of homes and villages built by the Ancestral Puebloans who lived in the area for over 700 years, from 600 to 1300 CE. Today, Mesa Verde serves not only as a window into the past showing a complex society and its relationship with the environment but also as an area for reflection and study on preservation and cultural endurance.
