The “Big Three” Archaeological Sites

These are the primary reasons travelers visit the area. They offer a look into the lives of the Ancestral Puebloans who lived here over 700 years ago

Mesa Verde National Park: A UNESCO World Heritage site and the county’s crown jewel. People specifically search for Cliff Palace, Balcony House, and Step House. Note that most cliff dwelling tours require reservations 14 days in advance via Recreation.gov.

Canyons of the Ancients National Monument: This monument has the highest density of archaeological sites in the U.S. Popular searches include the Lowry Pueblo and the Sand Canyon Trail, which allows you to hike past multiple ruins.

Hovenweep National Monument: Famous for its “towers”—ancient, multi-story stone structures perched on canyon rims. It’s a popular search for those looking for a quieter, more remote experience compared to Mesa Verde.

Outdoor & Nature Destinations

Beyond the ruins, the landscape offers world-class mountain biking and water sports

Phil’s World: A legendary mountain biking trail system just east of Cortez. It is most famous for the “Rib Cage” section, which riders frequently search for due to its “roller coaster” feel.

McPhee Reservoir: The second-largest body of water in Colorado. It’s a hotspot for boating, fishing, and camping, particularly near the town of Dolores.

Mancos State Park: A favorite for locals and visitors looking for paddleboarding and fishing at Jackson Gulch Reservoir, nestled in the woods near the town of Mancos
