Mesa Verde National Park was established in 1906 and contains over 4,000 archaeological sites: 600 of which are cliff dwellings. HSFS toured the park on July 15th and visited several different pithouses, pueblos, and cliff dwellings. We also got to show off everything that we had learned in the first week and to really start to synthesize a lot of information.
