Cliff House Tour w/ Ranger Mark | Mesa Verde National Park

[@jamwest3146]

I think that Ranger Mark should be proud of this video. Great tour guide .

[@ShelleeGraham]

Thank YOU Tom Hall. This was a great documentary film of the Mesa Verde National Park Cliff House tour as given my Ranger Mark. Well Done! 👍

In August 1990 I toured places I wanted to see around the Western US (I'm from the UK) and Mesa Verde turned out to be the high point of my holiday. Having visited South Dakota, Yellowstone and much more I finally reached Mesa Verde and was thrilled and fascinated by the wildlife, the scenery and the buildings - I won't say ruins, they are so much more than that - that made it truly the holiday of a lifetime. Well, so far! I would recommend it to anyone with an intelligent interest in the world. Thank you for a beautiful reminder of a wonderful place.

[@wadeintonature2975]

I am so grateful that I have grown up in the area and got to see this in my life.

[@Frylock76]

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing, and thank you for being so respectful and protective of the ruins.

[@deborahbgraham9010]

OMG. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for taking your time to video this wonderful place. We were there last year but I am handicapped (wheelchair) and could only see from a distance and never would have seen this area like this. Oh, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH‼️ BLESS YOU SIR. WOW.

[@AThike]

Thank you for posting this video. I am going to Mesa Verde tomorrow and because this is the off season (March 2022) there are no tours. I feel like I had my own private tour. Thank you again!

[@shanasmith4176]

I have been here Mesa Verde is a very beautiful and peaceful place. Its absolutely breathtakin and amazing.

[@geraldmorain3166]

This is one of the best videos in photo .I remember 1963 with my stepgrandfather he my twin brother

[@elusda]

The video was too short! Thank you so much for capturing this. Since my mom went about 45 years ago, and brought me home a book about it, I have been obsessed with them. Just within the past year I have the opportunity to go, including over the next two weeks but between covid and road construction it has been closed. Thanks again for giving me the tour, hopefully it will be open before long so I can plan a trip.

[@georgewang9296]

How smart these Pueblo people were!amazing!

[@danielledinh9032]

Your video convinced me to stop by the park when I travel to Colorado this summer. It's a long drive from Denver but looks worth it. I hope I'll be able to go on the tour.

[@joshualuissaldivar8069]

[@jessearagon8047]

[@zoethegreatfish]

Thank you Tom. And thank you Ranger Mark. I remember seeing a picture of this once. It was really special to be able to walk and listen with you guys on the tour. Thank you for posting.

[@LisadeKramer]

I live in Cortez and I have not been up to Mesa Verde in years. I think it is time to get back up there again.

[@GoodInventions]

I wasn’t able to go into the cliffs due to Covid closures, thanks for capturing this. I watched the whole thing

[@karennadeau8251]

Great hike, beautiful. I would never take little kids, but some people do.... noisy.

[@FredAlexander-wx5sp]

100% agree. The noisy kids take away from the magnificence of the site. I don't think they mean to but that's what happens. What a BUMMER.

[@esmeesmeralda701]

[@debbieneel8344]

[@thomascronquist1604]

Thank you for a great experience.

[@blueshawll]

Amazing. Thank you so much.

[@nyanko_senseii]

Living vicariously through this video haha

[@johncindysabo4658]

Great video. Very interesting. How long did the tour take? Thanks for sharing

[@robertroeder9539]

750-800 yrs at the site- i think its very fascinating that site was inhabited longer than Europeans have been in north america.

[@marthaperdew]

This is on my bucket list

[@aceintheholeagain]

Thank you for this. I'm handicapped. There is no way I could physically handle this tour. It was so nice to watch on video. Did anyone ever tell you your voice sounds like Mr. Rogers? This is wonderful!

[@pedrojulius5012]

@Brayden Thomas yup, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)

[@Carma_1]

Thanks Tom, that was Great! ☺😏👍✌

[@obamaissatan590]

Looks lush and green,but that oak brush can rip you to shreds. Its my understanding that more people lived in this area back then,than there are here now

[@vicentamartinez]

Gorgeous place

[@hassadabbass4678]

I was there 2 years ago. Greetings from Italy

[@RGC198]

Looks like a very interesting area. The scenery looks somewhat similar to the Blue Mountains west of Sydney in NSW here in Australia.

[@wendeln92]

Good video very lucky to be ableto go, hopefully might be able to some day, have wanted to visit Mesa Verde cliff dwellings since I was a kid, thanks for the close-ups /decent views of the structures. And yes, I definitely noticed and would have been distracted by red cap lady too, very pretty. LTC????

[@TomHallOnline]

Yes

[@billhillify4924]

The Park Ranger story is very idealistic of the Ancestral Pueblo people, though not as simple or quaint as described. Cliff Palace was one of the final polity locations and outlying posts of the Chaco and Aztec (Aztec, New Mexico) Capitals…the polity internals turned on each other, drought being a cause…terrible things happened and some moved against the cliffs for protection. Ultimately this lasted only a short time before people abandoned the area and the Chacoan polity. Some went east to the Rio Grande, some went to Acoma, or to the Hopi and Zuni peoples. The nobility probably migrated to Northern Chihuahua, Paquime. Then faded to the west and possibly further south. Note the T shape doors which are are extremely important.

[@francosworld5030]

Walking & Talking a Challenge? Nice Vid!

[@DhikaMarvell]

amazing vlog....

[@kimhorton6109]

Is there any written language or anything beyond the colored/twisted cords used for messages but not retained. It could be fun to revive that practice.

[@Despitedown]

None of the pueblo languages are written the only things are petroglyphs or designs used to depict things like the lyrics to songs.

[@victortavares5378]

é muito legal brasil aqui

[@tabaldak5184]

We did not come here from a Land-bridge; Clovis footprints in New Mexico proves our existence here well before that time!

[@MrSavethesouth]

He's a little too touchy feely for me. A little like a Televangelist.🤪

[@MattGodzilla2000]

I'm glad he atleast talked about how this is a very sacred place to the natives, welp anyway, 23 dollsr admission please.

[@shirleyallen1418]

Really did not like our guide praying to the spider 🕷️ woman. This guide seems a lot better

[@djsyndkutbrianfrost9643]

why is mesa verde just at the rise of the rocky mountains...a naturaul engine ruins....a sacred monument of native americans...or what...higher elevation means in durango colorado..6900 elevation deep...the thin air these engines lived bacik in the days....the other reason why you dont hear of any anasazees living anymore...extinct with the cold elevation....mesa verde then ur in the rockies again 6900 elevation....maybe a ticket why they are the anasazees....an ancient tribe...just found a thin air place...not goood for you engines...back in the days...tring to live here in the rockies back in the days....is horrific to your minds...you cant handle the rocky mountain deamon....n if you did you tried to stay sane that its the rocky mountains...to to high in the clouds...welcome to the rocky mountains...durango colorado your still in the mountains....travelling down hill from...bayfield colorado...

[@AnthonyRomero-zr2ww]

Them engine laugh at you and this stupid comment. Too high ,hahaha and I think whatakes it even more funny is that you're serious.thsnks needed a good laugh today and you certainly didn't fail to deliver.

[@whaleshrimp111]

Oh my government workers instead of local Indian guides. Long and then longer.

[@windyjarrett5793]

CE is before Christs existed AD is after Christ died I don't know why that man spoke like that , but denying our Savior is not right!

[@Nerdsplayingcards]

I wasnt feeling that park ranger , but they do work for the gov and the authorization to use force to protect the monuments is like having FBI giving u a guided tour

[@robertevans9354]

Im not grateful for not being to walk around the desert , just saying

[@oodhamman]

This guy doesn't know anything.
