Colorado Mesa Verde National Park - Spruce Tree House

Spruce Tree House is located near the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum in the Park. The half-mile winding, paved trail includes a steep 100 foot descent and ascent. Moderately strenuous when you're not used to the altitude. There is a Ranger on site if you have questions, but you conduct your own tour. This site is easily accessible and no climbing of ladders is required. A must see if you're in the park. Be sure to take in the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum too! It's well done and it's free!
