What: Mesa Verde National Park, P.O. Box 8, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado, 81330, (970) 529-4465.
How to Get There: Mesa Verde National Park is an 11-hour ride from Los Angeles. Pick up I-40 East in Barstow and stay on it to Flagstaff. Take US 89 North (a glorious ride) to US 160 East. From anywhere else in the U.S., you’ll want to find your way to the southwestern corner of Colorado near the Four Corners area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.
Best Kept Secret: The Farm Bistro restaurant in nearby Cortez, Colorado (their veggie burger is the best I’ve ever had). Cortez has many good hotels and restaurants.
Avoid: The winter months. It’s cold up there! Visit mid-spring to mid-fall.
