Our last National Park visit on this trip was to Mesa Verde in Colorado. This park is rich in culture dating back to before 350 AD. There are many viewpoint looking into the valley where the cliff dwellings are plus guided tours of different difficulty into the ruins. A video of the Cliff Palace tour can be found at - https://youtu.be/ffAfCNZUGkE
