Cliff Palace,
Mesa Verde, Colorado

Cliff Palace was visited Sunday midday after Square Tower House. Consisting of 217 rooms and 23 kivas, this is reputed to be the largest cliff dwelling on Turtle Island. Estimates are this dwelling was built around 1200 and housed some 200 to 250 people. A site guide provides more information about this dwelling.
