Mesa Verde National Park is a U.S. National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Colorado. It is the largest archaeological preserve in the United States. The park was created in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt to protect some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the world. It is the only cultural National Park set aside by the National Park System. It occupies 81.4 square miles near the Four Corners and features numerous ruins of homes and villages built by the Ancient Pueblo peoples. Mesa Verde is best known for cliff dwellings, which are structures built within caves and under outcroppings in cliffs. There are over 4000 archaeological sites and over 600 cliff dwellings of the Pueblo people at the site.
Mesa Verde National Park has Metate Room Restaurant on site, which serves a delicious and impressive contemporary menu inspired by regional heritage foods and flavorings. Metate Room Restaurant received a well deserved "Award of Culinary Excellence" from the American Culinary Federation. The restaurant has a bar above it which displays colorful southwestern artwork.
I spoke with the site manager in May. She was interested in my artwork for the bar and told me that the current work is all southwest design. She asked my opinion about which of my artworks might work best in the setting. I had not seen the setting and I would not usually place my artwork with southwest design, but I directed her to my wine series. From there she selected the above piece, which I was happy to see works perfectly with the southwest design!
I went to the Mesa Verde National Park in June to install the piece. See photos below.
I also enjoyed 2 nights stay at Far View Lodge with my husband. We loved hiking around and exploring the cliff dwellings in the area. It is a beautiful place!
