How many days do you need at Mesa Verde National Park?

To fully experience Mesa Verde National Park, we recommend spending at least 2-3 days. This will give you enough time to explore the main attractions, such as Cliff Palace, Balcony House, and Long House, as well as enjoy some of the park's scenic drives, hiking trails, and the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum. If you have more time, you can delve deeper into the park's history and natural beauty with additional hikes and ranger-led tours.
