Top places to visit

1. 5.0 Ute Mountain Tribal Park (83 reviews)
   - Don't miss this when in Cortez!
   Ancient Ruins • Parks
   
   
   The cliff dwellings at the Ute Mt. Tribal Park are a true find. See Ute wall paintings and petroglyphs as they were, and take your time: this secluded site gets far less visitors than Mesa Verde. See more..
   
2. 3.5 Yucca House National Monument (22 reviews)
   - Ranger-led tours coming in 2014
   Ancient Ruins
   
   
   Have been here several times and just learned Mesa Verde (who administers this unit of the NPS) will be offering several ranger-led tours of Yucca House each week this summer! You can ask at Mesa Verde for a site bulletin with directions to Yucca House (the road to the monument crosses private lands and so is the parking area on private land) and they have a National Parks Passport Stamp too. Once you get directions you can go to the site, respecting the landowners you'll pass on your way there. Once at the site park off the road and walk a short distance to the gate. Write your name in the register, open and close the gate behind you. Enjoy walking around the site. This isn't developed, so no access for wheelchairs, strollers, etc. You'll find pottery sherds on the ground. Please don't take them: that act is illegal (Antiquities Act of 1906) and they should be left where you find them. Watch for snakes! See more..
   
3. 3.0 Ute Mountain Casino (94 reviews)
   - Unique Casino in the Middle of Nowhere
   Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Casinos
   
   
   The Ute Mountain Casino Hotel is a hidden gem located on the Ute Mountain Reservation in southwestern Colorado. We would have never known about this place had we not driven past it on U.S. Route 491. We had been hiking all day in the Canyon’s of the Ancients Monument and were hungry, so we decided to stop and get something to eat. After we enjoyed gaming in the casino where they have all the games you could want. See more..
