In this episode of Exploring the National Parks, we are headed back to one of our favorite National Parks — Mesa Verde! We are diving into the fun facts about this park and focusing on the people who lived here.

The incredible human history in this area is what this park is all about, and we are so excited to share it with you! Join us as we take a deep dive into the Ancestral Puebloans who called Mesa Verde home.

In this episode, we discuss:

The surprising number of cliff dwellings in this national park
The number of tribes that have special ties to Mesa Verde
The largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde
The insanely cool things that archeologists have found in this park
The magic and the mystery of this park

This park protects the heritage of our country in a sacred and beautiful way, and it’s up to us to learn about it and how we can preserve it.

We hope these fun facts will help you cherish this amazing place as you explore it with your family and friends!
