Excursions au lever du soleil de Mesa Verde

Aperçu
Watch the sunrise over the iconic Mesa Verde plateau in Hawkins Nature Preserve as you sip coffee at the canyon edge & learn about the history of southwest Colorado.

Our walk is an easy 2-mile walk over sometimes uneven terrain. Afterward, guests can come back to explore the area on their own! Dogs are welcome, please ask before you bring Fido! As we walk through the preserve you will see & learn about the unique geology & ecology of southwest Colorado.

We will stop at the canyon's edge to watch the sunrise over the La Plata mountains & Mesa Verde NP. A sunrise hike isn't complete without a treat, so I will make sure to bring your choice of coffee, tea or hot chocolate & a locally baked goodie! After the sun rises we will continue our walk through pinyon-juniper woodlands, stopping along the path to learn about various flora & fauna. We will also stop at a 1,000+-year-old ruin and discuss the lives & culture of the people that built Mesa Verde.

Réserve d'Hawkins
Hawkins Nature Preserve est une réserve de 122 acres située à la limite sud de Cortez. L'accès est GRATUIT et ouvert au public, mais il peut être difficile de trouver l'endroit idéal pour observer le lever du soleil si vous n'y êtes jamais allé. Après notre visite, il est facile de revenir explorer la région par vous-même. Hawkins est une zone de promenade populaire pour les chiens, mais veuillez me contacter avant d'amener votre ami ! ** Cette visite n'est PAS à Mesa Verde NP, mais offre de superbes vues sur le plateau.

My tour with Helen was so fun and I learned so much about the area. Being a Colorado native I did not know much about Cortez but it is steeped with history. The place is fascinating. I am need to visit again.

The Sunrise tour is a must-do for anyone who wants to get the most beautiful views the region has to offer. Warm up with a cup of coffee and watch the Cortez region during magic hour. I am glad I did.
