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 1300. Today the park protects nearly 5,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States.

Teddy: You guys can go around if you want to. I’m crossing here. And while you guys are dragging your candy asses halfway across the state and back, I’ll be waiting for you on the other side, relaxing with my thoughts.
