Cliff palace
Mesa Verde was established as a national park by Congress and President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and protects some of the best-preserved Ancestral Puebloan dwellings in the United States. The park has 5,000 sites and 600 cliff dwellings and is best known for the Cliff Palace, thought to be the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The Mesa Verdeans survived with a combination of hunting, gathering, and farming of crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They built the mesa's first pueblos sometime after 650, and by the end of the 12th century, they began to construct the massive cliff dwellings for which the park is best known. Mesa Verde National Park is located in the Four Corners region near Cortez, Colorado, USA.

Photograph taken in Mesa Verde National Park of the ancient cliff dwellings and ruins
Sixty million years ago the west side of Bright Angel Fault was lifted higher than the east side, creating the canyon that we now see. The exposed walls of Bright Angel Canyon allow us to see the geological history of the area. Tropical seas, coastal beaches, sand dunes, swamps, lagoons, and Sahara-like deserts are represented by the horizontal layers that are exposed. The upper five layers of stacked rock records 70 million years of rising and falling sea levels. The limestone layers represent shallow sea environments, sandstone layers mean sandy beaches or dunes, while shale layers translate to mud flats, swamps, or coastal plains. This picture of Bright Angel Canyon was taken from Bright Angel Point on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, USA.
