The two Units are not directly connected but the Little Missouri River flows through both with the best views in the North.

Mesa Verde is the first national park of its kind. Established June 29, 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt to “preserve the works of man”. As years pass the Park’s talented staff continue to focus on preservation of the centuries old cultural and natural resources of the Ancestral Pueblo People. Mesa Verde is a World Heritage Site and International Dark Sky Park best known for its amazing cliff dwellings. But Mesa Verde is about so much more. Our first mission? Explore the northern hills including Mesa Verde’s highest point, Park Point at an elevation of 8,571. The drive over the hills is 15 miles, but it will take us at least 30 minutes. Yes, it is a twisty, turning, steep 15mph drive, but you know we’ll have to stop along the way for the views my friend. Let’s go!
