Visit us at Mesa Verde Country Visitor Bureau

Mesa Verde Country, in Southwest Colorado, is home to one National Park, two National Monuments, and a Tribal Park. The towns of Cortez, Dolores, Mancos and Towaoc are the gateway communities to Mesa Verde National Park. Better known as the archaeological center of America, Mesa Verde is the just beginning of many other archeological attractions; Hovenweep National Monument, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument and the Ute Tribal Park, as well as the Anasazi Heritage Center, Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and the Trail of the Ancients, a National Scenic Byway highlighting the area's long and intriguing occupation by Native American Peoples.

For a real western flavor, climb aboard a classic stagecoach, take a horseback ride, or participate in a cattle drive. Shop in exceptional trading posts and western shops, or try your luck at the Ute Mountain Casino. Free Indian Dances and Cultural programs are held at the Cortez Cultural Center.

Located in high desert country, winters in Mesa Verde County are mild and sunny. Just a short distance from several ski resorts, great snowmobling and exceptional cross-country skiing. It is also possible to enjoy a hike in the warmth of the red-rock canyons even in the winter months.
