Far View Lodge

Mesa Verde National Park
Mesa Verde , CO

COST:

<p><strong>The Altitude:</strong> 8,000 feet.</p> <p><strong>The Perch:</strong> The aptly named Far View Lodge sits in Mesa Verde National Park, on the same soaring bluff where Ancestral Pueblo Indians made their now ancient cliff dwellings.</p> <p><strong>The Journey:</strong> You'll take a steep, 15-mile former wagon trail from the park entrance gate to the lodge, teetering over canyons, ridges, and hairpin switchbacks the whole way.</p> <p><strong>The Best View:</strong> Many of the Santa Fe–style Kiva rooms have vistas that take in hundreds of miles across four states. Book a Kiva suite to see into Soda Canyon, or stay in the main lodge to spy New Mexico's volcanic Shiprock in the distance. Scan the closer terrain too— you might spot a bobcat, mountain lion, or the herd of wild horses that have staked a claim here.</p>
