Cortez, Colorado is the gateway town to Mesa Verde National Park. It is a handy place to get provisions before heading the the park if one is lucky enough to get a campsite there. But there are RV parks and campgrounds in Cortez.
The last time I was in Cortez was three years ago. It was an early November morning and I was driving into town from Durango when it a little blizzard started.
