Mesa Verde National Park Mesa Verde, Spanish for green table, offers a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people
who made it their home for over 700 years, from A.D. 600 to A.D. 1300. Today, the park protects over 4,000 known archeological sites,
including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States.
