点评:This set of cliff dwellings gets overshadowed by those on Chapin Mesa due to the long drive and hike. However, do not miss this one as it is so much less crowded and more accessible. What it lacks in a perfect picture spot like Cliff Palace, it makes up in buildings and access. Here you get to climb behind the structures and see a real seep that would have supplied water to those living here. For me, the access into the dwellings allow you to see so much more. Additionally, you can actually purchase a ticket to see these dwellings on the day of Sunday visit as opposed to Cliff Palace and Balcony House that sell out the first day they open.
With that said, not everything on Wetherill mesa is it a picnic. The drive here will add nearly an hour to your park visit. However, when you arrive, you realize it is still a long walk to the ruins walking a paved road with little to no shade under a glaring sun. However, the memory of that goes away as soon as you reach the ruins. This is so underrated for Mesa Verde and simply a great visit that you should see.
Finally, there is no restroom at the house. The nearest restrooms are in the parking and a long walk from the Long house.
翻译:由于长途驾车和徒步旅行,这组悬崖住宅与查平台地的悬崖住宅相比显得黯然失色。但是,不要错过这个,因为它不那么拥挤而且更容易到达。它缺乏像悬崖宫这样的完美景点,它弥补了建筑和通道。在这里,您可以爬到建筑物后面,看到一个真正的渗漏,可以为住在这里的人供水。对我来说,进入住宅可以让你看到更多。此外,您实际上可以在周日参观当天购买门票参观这些住宅,而不是在开放第一天就售罄的悬崖宫和阳台屋。
话虽如此,但并不是 Wetherill mesa 上的一切都是野餐。开车到这里将使您的公园参观时间增加近一个小时。然而,当您到达时,您会发现在耀眼的阳光下,沿着几乎没有或几乎没有遮荫的柏油路步行到废墟还有很长的路要走。然而,一旦你到达废墟,那段记忆就会消失。这对于梅萨维德来说被低估了,只是一次您应该看到的很棒的访问。
最后,房子里没有洗手间。最近的洗手间在停车场,距离长屋有很长的步行路程。
