| Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado is home to the most spectacular Ancestral Puebloan ruins. |
 |
| The Square Tower House is the tallest standing structure in the park. Most dwellings in Mesa Verde were built in the 13th century AD. |
 |
| The Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in the park, housing over a hundred people. |
 |
| Spruce Tree House had at least 120 rooms and eight kivas. |
 |
| The Sun Temple is an odd walled structure on the top of a mesa built for unknown purposes. |
 |
| Duck hunters? |
 |
| Ladles and duck jars |
 |
| It is believed drought forced the Pueblo to move less than 100 years after some of Mesa Verde's most impressive structures were built. |
