The long, chilly nights of winter make for even better stargazing here in Mesa Verde Country. ✨

Hovenweep National Monument is an International Dark Sky Park and here the skies are truly almost as dark as they were 800 years ago. The trails in the monument are open from sunrise to sunset, but you can still stargaze from the visitor center parking lot as well as the campgrounds.

Despite a harsh and arid climate, they were able to grow corn, beans, and squash on top of the mesas and could dry and store their food so that it stayed edible for years. 🌽

Even as winter comes to Mesa Verde Country, the temperatures here often stay more moderate than our mountainous neighbors.

This allows our visitors to horseback ride, hike, bike and explore Mesa Verde National Park, Canyons of the Ancients and Hovenweep National Monuments well into December!

There's nothing like enjoying a prickly pear margarita and some tacos on the Loungin' Lizard patio on a warm autumn afternoon. 🦎

Located on Main Street in downtown Cortez, CO, the Loungin' Lizard is a great place to stop after a day spent enjoying the outdoors in Mesa Verde Country!
