re: #524 Walter L. Newton

Mesa Verde is right off a major highway (160) and is 8 miles on a two lane paved road to the park. Motel, large caferteria, many different exhibit centers. You must be thinking of Chaco Canyon. About 18 miles of wash board dirt road, and barely no services at the park except for the visitors center.

MV is a beast…when you get there you are utterly someplace
