Mesa Verde Country® Recreation

Mesa Verde Recreation

Mesa Verde Country® is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts! Our geographic diversity of mountains, mesas, and canyons provides the perfect environment for recreational activities year-round. Hiking, biking, fishing, boating, rafting, golf, horseback riding, hunting, skiing, and snowmobiling are just some of the popular sports in Mesa Verde Country®. With our incredible climate, many recreational activities are available year round, and our location makes it possible to cross country ski in the mountains on a winter's morning, and hike in our warm red-rock canyons on a winter's afternoon. Whether on foot or on horseback, on two wheels or four, on land or on water, in snow or in sun, the exceptional landscapes of Mesa Verde Country® beckon you to create your own outdoor adventure. Many recreation activities in Mesa Verde Country® take place on public lands. To ensure continued enjoyment of these recreational opportunities, please treat the land and other recreational users with respect. To learn more about caring for your public lands visit a local Forest Service/BLM office or visit their website.
