Local history - Cat was great. Due to the government shutdown parts of Mesa Verde was closed. She improvised and provided us with a great learning experience. Highly recommend her. As for scheduling I don’t recommend. I received a call the night before asking us to change our plans after 9:00 pm. The main office knew that parts of Mesa Verde was closed on Friday but waited until last minute to call me asking if I could alter my plans

Incredible tour - It was so different from the environment where we live in New Jersey. Cat Bray was our tour guide and she told us so much about the people who lived there, their culture, their habits, their environment. She was also knowledgeable about the present day park and what’s available at the Visitor Center. We certainly lucked out with having Cat as our guide.

Do the national Park tour of the cliff dwellings? - Booked through TripAdvisor but day of was told that the tour was full. Paid $8 for national Park tour to the cliff dwellings which was not included in the original tour. It was great. All the other places you can reach by car and don't need a tour. Strongly recommend the national park tour to the cliff dwellings. It was awesome!
