The Mesa Verde Foundation strives to provide exciting and educational experience through our tours and events. Tours provide those seeking deeper experiences at Mesa Verde National Park and the greater Ancestral Puebloan region with in-depth experiences. Our events provide ways for people to engage further with the Foundation in communities throughout the Four Corners region.
We are thrilled to announce the Mesa Verde Foundation Fall Tour Dates for 2024!
The 2024 fall tour will be held September 27th – 30th.
Join us for the Mesa Verde Foundation Fall Tour for a one-of-a-kind behind-the-scenes experience!
Where: Mesa Verde National Park
Join tour leaders Dr. Andrew Gulliford, Professor of History and Environmental Studies at Fort Lewis College, and Christopher Lewis, Master Fiber Artisan and Native scholar of the Zuni Pueblo, for a four-day tour of Mesa Verde National Park. Mesa Verde, one of 12 original UNESCO World Heritage sites, is home to thousands of ancient artifacts of Ancestral Puebloan tribes. During these four days, you will visit several cliff dwellings, and get an in depth look at the history of the Ancestral Puebloans who lived at Mesa Verde. The event includes guided tours of some of Mesa Verde’s most iconic sites, lodging (based on double-occupancy), six meals, an exclusive reception with the Park Superintendent at the superintendent’s residence that Jesse Nusbaum built on the rim of Spruce Tree Canyon in 1921, a historic presentation by Dr. Gulliford, a native plants presentation by Christopher Lewis, and a private viewing of artifacts from the museum’s collection.
