Come take a half day tour and see the highlights of Mesa Verde National Park. We’ll squeeze 700 years of history into a 6-hour round trip tour (3 hours’ total drive time, 3 hours in the park) with a professional guide that is passionate about giving you the most informative experience possible. This tour will include a stop at several iconic cliff dwellings, including the park’s crown jewel, Cliff Palace, where you have the option of taking a 40 minute ranger led tour (Seasonally available 2nd week of May thru 3rd week of October). We’ll also take in some of the most spectacular views of the 4 Corners region as we travel through the park. We guarantee that you’ll leave with a new found appreciation for the cultures and landscapes of the Southwest. Included: Park fees, Cliff Palace tickets, transportation to and from Durango and within the park, and plenty of water and snacks.

Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the Mesa Verde Highlights Tour?

A: There's no strict minimum age, but kids should be able to walk and handle a few hours in the park. It's great for families, but keep in mind some of the cliff dwellings require a bit of climbing. Just check with the guide beforehand if you're unsure!

Q: How difficult is the hike at Cliff Palace?

A: The hike to Cliff Palace is moderate. There are some steps and uneven paths, but it's manageable for most. Just wear good shoes and take your time. The ranger gives a great overview at the top, so it’s worth it!

Q: What should I wear for the Mesa Verde tour?

A: Dress comfortably! I'd recommend lightweight, breathable clothing, and definitely wear sturdy shoes for walking. Also, bring a hat and sunscreen since you'll be outdoors for a while. Layers are a good idea since it can get cool in the morning.

Thinking about gifting the Mesa Verde Highlights Tour for my parents!

My folks are visiting Durango in October, and I was thinking of gifting them the Mesa Verde Highlights Tour. They love history and nature, and I think they’d enjoy seeing the cliff dwellings! Anyone done this tour recently? Would love to hear your thoughts on the views and the tour guide!

Just completed the Mesa Verde Highlights Tour!

OMG, I just got back from the Mesa Verde Highlights Tour, and it was incredible! The Cliff Palace was jaw-dropping, and our guide made history come alive. If you're thinking of going, do it! Just a heads up, the snacks they provide are pretty basic, but who cares when you have those views?!
