"Pack a Picnic" Top 5 Page for this destination Mesa Verde National Park Favorite Tip by ATXtraveler

Favorite thing: My personal favorite part of the trip to Mesa Verde had to be our picnic lunch out in the daytime campsite. Sarah did an excellent job of packing plenty of food for us to enjoy in the open air as a family, and there were plenty of open spots for us to park and have a feast. The options are fairly limited to food in the National Park, so bringing your own is a very safe bet. Plus, if you don't like it, you can complain directly to the chef (you!).

If you did not plan ahead and pack a lunch, you can stop in to the Spruce Tree Restaurant year round for lunch.
