Mesa Top Sites, Mesa Verde National Park
Mesa Top Loop Road - a 6-mile (10km) driving tour with short, paved trails - follows the Ancestral Puebloans as they make their way from pithouse to pueblo in roughly 600 years. Stop at one or more of the ten easily accessed archaeological sites and gain insight to Anasazi life. Enjoy views of Square Tower House, Sun Point and Cliff Palace from the overlooks along the route. And introduce the kids to two Anasazi peoples: Basketmakers and Puebloans.

Mesa Top Sites reviews
A bit overwhelming for the kids
Submitted on 30 October 2007 by snowedunder from Monza, Italy
This self-guided driving tour of the mesa tops sites is a bit overwhelming with and without the informative brochure. Stopping, getting out of the car, walking to and from each site and getting back in the car wears kids out fast. Especially on a hot day. The shorter Step House trail on Wetherill Mesa was of greater interest to my 8-year-old daughter and 18-year-old niece.
