Full-Day Mesa Verde Discovery Tour

Огляд
It’s no question that locals and past visitors consider Mesa Verde National Park a must-visit. It allows us a rare opportunity to experience preserved North American history before European contact. Joining a Mild to Wild guide ensures guests will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of authentic Southwestern culture.

Our Full Day Discovery Tour will show off this outdoor museum with plenty of insight into the ancient indigenous culture, the history of the Park, and more. It’s the best way to get the most out of a day at Mesa Verde.

Our tour vehicles are comfortable, air conditioned, and come with speakers to help you hear your guide's interp throughout the drive.

*Please note that Cliff Palace tickets sell out quickly, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to ensure we have tickets.

Mesa Verde National Park
Meet at our Durango Office to shuttle over to Mesa Verde with your guide! The drive is incredibly scenic and takes about 45 minutes while driving past the La Plata Mountains. Once there, you'll visit the top sites along the mesa before your expedition into Cliff Palace. This portion of the tour lasts about 45 minutes, and includes climbing a narrow staircase and series of ladders to reach the dwellings. The rangers will provide some interpretation, while giving you time to wander beneath the largest cliff dwelling in North America. Afterwards we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the sites or overlooks, before continuing to more ancient villages and sacred kivas to explore. Expect a lot of information along the way! Our guides offer far more insight and knowledge about the sites than visitors going on their own, as posted information and placards are limited throughout the Park. After a stop at a spectacular lookout of the Four Corners Region, we'll shuttle back to Durango!

Even though we'd lived in Colorado for over 50 years, we'd never been to Mesa Verde. We are SO glad we did this tour when we finally decided to visit. Our guide, Kellie, was so knowledgeable and charming that we feel like we know so much more about this place and culture than we ever could have if we'd just gone through on our own. On the ride from Durango (which was very comfortable), she gave us a nice, comprehensive history of the pueblan peoples and Mesa Verde itself. Then, once we were in the park, she took us to the popular - and not as popular - places, and helped us understand the history and significance of each. Her passion for Mesa Verde and this culture was apparent throughout the day, and that she shared it with us was a special treat!

Kellie was our guide and had great information to share and was very friendly with everyone. We had a great group of people to travel with which helped to make it a great day.

We were extremely lucky to get Jay take us on a full day tour of Mesa Verde and the surrounds. We ended up in a van by ourselves (there were 7 of us in the family - from aged 7 to 70) due to a bit of a mix up with meeting spot but that turned out to our good luck. So Jay started asking questions about us immediately and made us feel welcome. If you are going to be in the car all day with someone who is your tour guide, you want them to tell you not just the general information but things tailored to your diverse interests that engaged the adults and the teens and little ones. Jay was great at personalizing the tour, filling it with his personal stories, adapting to the smoky winds (couple of us had breathing issues with the wildfire smoke) and generally being funny and a joy to deal with. The drive is beautiful with astonishing rock formations along the way and he took us to a few off the beaten track walks, where the kids found antique pottery. The tour of Mesa Verda was done by the park ranger and it was incredible. The walk down is steep, narrow but manageable unless you are super unfit. Although it is high up, it doesn't feel like it. You get to see and touch (a tiny bit ) of history. We could have driven up on our own but I have to say that having Jay take us allowed us to see everything, enjoy a catered lunch, and hear more about the history of the area than if we had gone on our own. Lastly, it is hardish driving - just lots of bends and altitude so it is nice to be a passenger.

So glad to hear you found our guided Mesa Verde NP tour to enable you to see more of the park, learn more about the park, enjoy a great lunch, and to top it off, to be entertaining and personalized. Jay is an amazing professional guide. We are so happy to have had him part of our team for almost a decade.
