Mesa Verde National Park
Its name Spanish for “green table”, Mesa Verde National Park is an anomaly among America’s national parks. It’s one of very few parks that don’t attract people because of their spectacular landscapes, wildlife or adventurous activities.
Instead, it draws in visitors who want to learn about and explore Native American history and culture. Basically all attractions at Mesa Verde are man-made and cultural.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mesa Verde National Park contains almost 5,000 Ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings.
