Mesa Verde National Park

Mesa Verde National Park contains one of the world’s best collection of Anasazi cliff dwellings. It is one of the most popular attractions in the southwest and is unique because it preserved the beauty of nature and the works of early man. Known today as the “Anasazi”, Navajo for the ancient ones, this Indian civilization thrived in the region from 600 to 1300 A.D. and then mysteriously disappeared.

Four Corners Monument

The only place in the United States where four states meet. It is a “must stop” to take pictures of each other while standing in four states.

Anasazi Heritage Center

The Anasazi Heritage Center is the southwest’s state-of-the-art museum. It is a large research and artifact storage facility for the study and interpretation of the Anasazi culture.

Ute Mountain Tribal Park

The Tribal Park offers a personal experience for the visitor in the ruins of the Anasazi just south of Mesa Verde. All tours are hosted by Ute Indian guides who will interpret the archaeology of the Park and the history of the Utes as you take this trip back in time. The mystical feeling on this tour is that you are the first to walk on the ancient Anasazi pathways.

McPhee Lake

McPhee, the second largest lake in Colorado, offers all the pleasures of excellent fishing, boating, water skiing, hiking and relaxing. There are fisherman-access points, boat ramps, picnic and recreation areas all around the lake. The lake overlook offers you a 360 degree panorama of four states and several mountain ranges.
