Mesa Verde Historic Sites & Interpretive Centres

Located within Mesa Verde National Park in southern Colorado, Spruce Tree House is a large Puebloan cliff dwelling and is considered the park's most well-preserved ruin, due in part to the large cliff overhang under which the dwellings were built. The site features dozens of rooms, kivas and a restored roof and is accessible via guided or self-guided tours.

Balcony House is an ancestral Puebloan cliff dwelling located in Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park. The spectacular ruin is smaller than the more well-known dwellings of Cliff Palace and Spruce Tree House but is a fascinating site for its mysterious and somewhat inaccessible cliff setting. Visiting the ruin requires climbing ladders and crawling through rock tunnels.

Cliff Palace, a sandstone ruin built by the ancestral Puebloan people of the American Southwest, is located in Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. The ruin is the largest cliff dwelling in North America and features over 20 ceremonial kivas and 150 rooms set under a large cliff. The site is thought to have contained two communities and to have been inhabited in the 12th and 13th centuries. Tours are available through the national park.
