Situs arkeologi yang ditemukan di Taman Nasional Mesa Verde salah satunya merupakan sebuah situs pemukiman yang berlokasi di puncak bukit atau lereng tebing, yang hanya dapat dilalui dengan jalan kecil seperti tangga. Dahulu, situs tersebut digunakan oleh orang-orang Indian Anasazi atau suku bangsa Pueblo kuno sebagai tempat pelarian untuk berlindung atau bersembunyi dari serangan orang-orang Eropa yang tiba di Amerika Serikat Barat Daya.[2]
