MESA VERDE—the “green tableland” rises 1,500 feet above the Mancos Valley, here seen in its colorful October foliage. In the foreground, Highway 160 bears westward to the pioneer town of Mancos, 1 mile distant, and to the Park Entrance, 8 miles farther, just below the distant bulk of Ute Mountain. Beneath the bold promontory of Point Lookout the Park Entrance Highway can be seen climbing to the top of Mesa Verde.
