Exploring Oak Tree House at Mesa Verde National Park/Kurt Repanshek

Special tours let you visit some of the off-the-beaten path cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park, such as Oak Tree House/Kurt Repanshek

While there are a handful of cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado that you can tour, there are more than 600 dwellings in all in the park. Here's a tip on how to visit some of those off the beaten path.

This summer and early fall, ranger-guided hikes and programs include a 2-hour hike to Oak Tree House offered weekly during the summer, a 2-hour hike to Square Tower House offered in spring and fall, a half-day hike on Wetherill Mesa, Twilight Tours of Cliff Palace, and the Photography Tour at Cliff Palace. 

Here's a look at a tour of Oak Tree House from earlier this summer.
