About

The cliff dwellings at the Ute Mt. Tribal Park are a true find. See Ute wall paintings and petroglyphs as they were, and take your time: this secluded site gets far less visitors than Mesa Verde.

Not a national park so go with the flow, but go.

The Ute Mountain Tribal Park is adjacent to Mesa Verde and contains similar dwellings of the ancient puebloans. (They still refer to them as Anasazi.) All tours are led by a Ute Mountain guide. There are half day and whole day tours, private and group....More

How did you get a hold of them to book the tour? My girlfriend has been emailing and calling 970-565-9653 for the last week or two, and she left a voice message, but there has been zero response from them. Also, do they not run the tours when its raining? Thanks!

Answer

Were you able to get a hold of them? I called today and they answered right away.

With the long day with the guide, especially in the truck with them, do you gift a tip at the end?

Yes. I did and it seemed much appreciated.

Hi, we have a reservation set up for this coming Saturday. We are staying in Pagosa Springs. I need some type of working address on where to meet our guide, If you have specific address or driving directions, I would so appreciate you getting them to me. Please respond. Thank You.

Answer

Yes, they are a bit hard to find. But they are in a modest building at the NW corner of the junction of US491 & US160 in the 'shadow' of Chimney Rock. It shows as towac visitor center on google maps.
