2Mesa Verde National Park
Travel to this national park nestled in southwestern Colorado. Different from several other national parks in America, this place has more than deep gorges, lush forests, memorable mountain views, and more than 1000 endemic species. Here you will also find ancient Pueblo settlements from over 700 years ago. You can take a ranger-led tour of them as early as May.
You can also enjoy two of the most popular activities, hiking, and wildlife viewing while avoiding the summer tourists. You’re practically guaranteed to see black bears, deer, and turkeys. You can also go camping at the popular Morefield campground. It’s also a great place to see the stars too since this is an International Dark Sky Park. The absence of all artificial light here t night makes the stars look especially brilliant.
