Mesa Verde Tours for 2024

Mesa Verde National Park has just released information for the park’s 2024 tour season. Because the tours are nearly always sold out immediately (2 weeks prior to each tour), it’s a good idea to plan now for the dates you want.  The first full day of tours will begin May 12^th with a limited number the week of May 6-11.  They are available only on Recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. 

Here’s the process if you haven’t done it before:

Tickets are released at 8am Mountain time 2 weeks in advance of each day’s tours.  It’s a good idea to be on the site by opening time (8am) with the date(s) you want and ready to select your preferred date and time.  A delay of even a minute can mean the difference!

Tours of Cliff Palace and Balcony house are $8 per person; backcountry tours are $25 per person (those sites to be announced).  You can go to the Park’s website (nps.gov/meve) or its Facebook page for new PSA’s every week.
