CLIFF PALACE at MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK 🏞 🏞 🏞 In a national park with several ancient remains, this cliff dwelling is probably the most photographed! Here are a few ways to enjoy it: 1. Book a park ranger led tour! You get to hike down to the cliff alcove itself and see the remains up close while the ranger drops some interesting knowledge! You climb a ladder and go thru a narrow passage on the way back up. 2. If you walk down to where the tour begins, you can observe the dwelling from up high for free! 3. From the Sun Temple along the Mesa Top Loop. Remember, there are other dwellings to see at this park (some let you go in the structures)! A few options include: 💫 Sun Temple 💫 Long House 💫 Balcony House 💫 Spruce Tree House 🏞 🏞 🏞 #nationalpark #nps #mesaverde #colorado #nationalparkgeek #nationalparkfreak #usparkpass #americathebeautiful #hikingadventures #hikingtheglobe #idhikethat #hikemoreworryless #beautifuldestinations #views #mountains #usaroadtrip #coloradolive #viewcolorado #colorado_travel #colorfulcoloradocollective #onlyincoloradousa #outtherecolorado #TLPicks
