To visit Mesa Verde is to visit the past. 1500 Years ago the "ancient Ones" given the name "Anasazi" made their homes in the cliff alcoves known as Mesa Verde. The master builders left their unique city somewhere around 1200 AD. There departure remains a mystery but archeologist believe it was due to a prolonged drought. After spending the morning viewing the cliff dwelling, its time for a quick lunch and we're off to visit an old mining camp of La Plata City. Just minutes away is the Glory Hole Mine were visitors can view gold and copper still embedded in walls carved out by determined miners seeking for riches. La Plata is a beautiful Canyon with spectacular views, rich in mining history, waiting for your discovery.
