Accompanied by an NAI Certified Interpretive guide, the Intro tour offers guests the opportunity to receive an overview of the landscape and culture of the Ancestral Puebloan people who thrived on the Mesa for over 700 years. After leaving Far View Terrace, visitors travel to Park Point to experience the highest, most scenic spot in Mesa Verde. Back down the hill, the tour stops at Far View Sites to learn about the engineering and architectural abilities of the ancestors. Spruce Tree House, one of the largest cliff dwellings in all of Mesa Verde National Park completes the guest’s experience.
