Since it is getting hotter outside, hours are being extended at Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado.
According to National Parks Traveler:
Hotter summer temperatures and increased visitation have prompted Mesa Verde National Park officials to open access to the Wetherill Mesa earlier in the day as well as to the Petroglyph Point and Spruce Canyon trails.
The number of tour tickets available at Long House will also increase.
Beginning July 4, Wetherill Mesa Road will open at 7 a.m. MDT. The gate at the Petroglyph Point and Spruce Canyon Trailhead will also open at 7 a.m. MDT.
“Providing opportunities to explore the park during the cooler morning hours will allow more visitors to access the trails and sites and make for a safer and more enjoyable visit,” Superintendent Cliff Spencer said.
