Of all the parks located in the U.S., I find Mesa Verde to be my favorite. I can’t remember how many times I’ve visited here; and even had the experience to work a summer as a seasonal ranger. Best job I’ve ever had. It’s hard to say which is my favorite place within the park as I have so many of them. Park Point would be a good place to start, and any of the overlooks would be next. With so many people in the park I find being down in the sites like Cliff Palace and Spruce Tree House to be rather a turn off and would rather see these places from a distance.
Hey Joe…oh my gosh, that would have been fantastic to have been a ranger there! Did you get to go into some of the dwellings after hours, or between tours when no one was around? That would have been a special experience. Thanks so much for sharing! Cheers, Mike
Sorry Mike, but my main job was law enforcement at the Morfield campground and when not doing that I was working the entrance gate. I did get to experience things that the normal turkey, excuse me, tourist didn’t get to do, like hikes and such. Park Point was the dividing point between Morfield and Chapin Mesa district, so I did get up there a lot. Especially on night patrol. Watched a bobcat for some time before he got tired of being watched and slunk off into the bushes. At Park Point you could feel the spirits of the old ones and it was a scary place to be at night.
