Mesa Verde National Park Half Day Tour

About this activity

It’s no question that locals and past visitors consider Mesa Verde National Park a must-visit. It allows us a rare opportunity to experience preserved North American history before European contact. Joining a Mild to Wild guide ensures guests will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of authentic Southwestern culture.

Our Half Day tour will show off this outdoor museum with plenty of insight into the ancient indigenous culture, the history of the Park, and more. It’s ideal for those who would enjoy a relaxing drive with a few short walks to ancient ruins and overlooks of the cliff dwellings.

*Please note that this trip does not include a tour into Cliff Palace, however we will get to enjoy it from a scenic overlook. If you would like to join the ranger guided tour into Cliff Palace along with our highly knowledgeable guides, please check out our Mesa Verde Discovery Tour.
