Junior Ranger Program
Children from age 4 to 12 can become a Junior Ranger at Mesa Verde. Just pick up an Activity Sheet at the Far View Visitor Center or Chapin Mesa Museum, complete the activities, and take it to a ranger at either location for review. A special Mesa Verde Junior Ranger badge is awarded for a job well done.

Did You Know?
On a snowy December day in 1888, while ranchers Richard Wetherill and Charlie Mason searched Mesa Verde’s canyons for stray cattle, they unexpectedly came upon Cliff Palace for the first time. The following year, the Wetherill brothers and Mason explored an additional 182 cliff dwellings.
