Mesa Verde Wilderness is a 8,500-acre (34 km²) wilderness area located within Mesa Verde National Park in the U.S. state of Colorado.[1]
These three small and separate sections of the National Park are located on the steep north and east boundaries and serve as buffers to further protect the significant Native American sites. Unlike most wilderness areas, visitor access to Mesa Verde Wilderness is prohibited.[1]
