Mesa Verde National Park is the nation's only park dedicated to the
preservation and display of the thousand year-old dwellings of the ancestral
pueblos of the southwest. Discovered in 1888 by a local rancher, the area
contains hundreds of archeological sites. This one is known as "Cliff
Palace" and contains over 217 rooms, 23 ceremonial Kivas, and was home to 250
people.
