    I have to say that while I understand why this wonderful area is so protected, this was the most on-rails park experience I have ever participated in. No exploration allowed.

    Great video and recommendations. We visited last week and we were able to score a Long House tour. It was amazing. My only other recommendation would to be to stay at least one night at the Far View Lodge. We had a King Suite w/balcony and the stars were amazing. You can see them as you fall asleep from the big picture window too. The Matate restaurant food was fabulous. They have a great chief. Enjoy

    I agree with you about the attraction to Mesa Verde, and many similar places in the 4 corners. The landscape is amazing, but then add the culture of the ancient Puebloans, and the mystery surrounding their cliff dwellings, and it is an awe-inspiring place to hike. Thanks for the informative and beautiful video!

    We love this National Park. A lot has changed over the last few years. I did like the new app. It was super nice to have. You'll have to go back when you can get into Step House. I think it's really one of the best ones that you don't need a tour ticket for.

    Great explanation once again ! To bad you couldn’t do all of what you wanted ☹️
    It’s a great coincidence that you uploaded this video ( we are actually uploading now ) and offering us to suggest to add some information about this famous park which we did also . We invite you to have a look at a few videos of it on our channel 7 videos total ( still 2 more to come soon )
    We spent 2 days visiting this park in 2018 and would definitely return one day do see more .
    Thanks for showing us and informing us about things we didn’t do or see …there’s so much to do in this park
    Have a great weekend

    Currently binge watching your videos 😅 just watched your Zion Ntl. Park videos and now this one! I'm planning our yearly family vacation for summer 2023. Would you say you can visit most points/sites in 1 day ?? Sounds like you just drive thru the park and can stop to many of these.

    • @TravelSzN
      @TravelSzN  2 года назад +1

      Hi Miryam! If you visit Mesa Verde before the guided tours open up, you can see most of it in a day. If you want to do one of the tours to go into a cliff dwelling, you will probably want at least 2 days there. Thanks and have a great vacation! :)

    I really want to go there, but I don’t know how much I can actually see. Though my medical issues are invisible, I can’t do hikes or long walks. Are bikes or trikes allowed on any of the “accessible” trails?

    • @TravelSzN
      @TravelSzN  2 года назад +1

      Hi Angela - the NPS put together a webpage with accessibility information for various locations in Mesa Verde! here is a link: www.nps.gov/meve/planyourvisit/physical-mobility.htm

  • @bobduncan-ix7sh

    so is mess verde an out and back? like there’s no way to drive through the park you would have ti double back?

    • @TravelSzN
      @TravelSzN  11 месяцев назад

      It looks like there is just the one entrance in an out of the national park. here is the park map : www.nps.gov/meve/planyourvisit/maps.htm

  • @brucesmith9144
    @brucesmith9144 3 месяца назад

    A great park and good recommendations. One thing to note is if you’re staying in Durango, it’s a bit of a drive to reach the park and the sites of interest as was mentioned in this video, the entrance road takes time and the speed limit is slow (watch for park rangers handing out “souvenirs”). Cortez, CO is closer place to stay outside the park.

  • @NomadDogAdventures

    I’m gonna assume dogs are not allowed in the park? Do you know of dog boarding kennels in the area ?

    • @TravelSzN
      @TravelSzN  Год назад

      Hi! Dogs are allowed in the park, but it is very limited where they can be walked. They aren't allowed at any ancestral sites or on many of the park trails.
      They are allowed on paved roads and paved trails. More info here:
      www.nps.gov/meve/planyourvisit/pets.htm#:~:text=Pets%20are%20welcome%20in%20Mesa,clean%20up%20your%20pet's%20poop. I'm not sure about local boarding kennels, we did not use a kennel for this area when we visited.
