Mesa Verde wasn't a National Park when I grew up--and the history was different. We were taught that the Indians that lived there, disappeared. They never found evidence of their cultural anywhere else. They just up and disappeared! No bones were found, which would have indicated war, or some disease that killed them off--Now that the park is a government "National Park" they have a totally different explanation! Perfect example of how they've tried to change our history! Nevertheless, I find it fun to visit and think about. How these Indians lived in these cliffs, or why for that matter remain a real mystery to me!

I just want to point out that I still haven't gone!! We should do that.
