Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado (@ George H.H. Huey/Alamy)
comments,
- What a setting.""And it looks like they\ve got vacancies
- Archaeologists are still trying to understand why...""The former residents picked up and left this palace and other nearby cliff dwellings hundreds of years ago
- A local rancher explored these ruins in 1888.""He and his family became some of the first to advocate for their protection
- This cultural heritage site is part of the first national park designated to “preserve the works of man.”""And because they\re preserved, we can all celebrate the park\s anniversary today
