Highlights
- Mesa Verde National Park - Mesa Verde National Park is a scenic dreamscape of mystery and ancient wonders. Its abandoned metropolis was cultivated between 500 CE and 1300 CE. Why the ancestral Puebloans left these enchanting mesas below the Rocky Mountains is still uncertain. Our Half Day tour will show off this outdoor museum with plenty of insight into the ancient indigenous culture, the history of the Park, and more.
This Half-Day tour follows Mesa Verde’s most popular spots in just 4 hours. This tour is ideal for those who would enjoy a relaxing drive with a few short walks to ancient ruins and overlooks of the cliff dwellings.
It’s no question that locals and past visitors consider Mesa Verde National Park a must-visit. It allows us a rare opportunity to experience preserved North American history before European contact. Joining a Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep Tours guide ensures guests will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of authentic Southwestern culture.

The best way to see the highlights and acquaint yourself with Mesa Verde - We had a fabulous 1/2 day tour at Mesa Verde. Our guide, Jarod, was wonderful, knowledgeable and took really good care of us. This tour gave us a great sample of the park and gave us a better idea of what we want to do and see when we return with more time. I highly recommend it!

Wonderful 1/2 day tour - I loved my half day tour with Art. He was super knowledgeable- and fun to be with. I normally try to see things like this on my own - and I now realize what I’ve been missing.
This tour group was also very professional - I needed to change my reservation and they were super accommodating.
I have wanted to see Mesa Verde for a long time, I am so glad I chose Mild to Wild and that I was lucky enough to have Art as my guide.
