A lot of restoration work has been done on the main attractions at Mesa Verde. I use the word 'attractions' with all of the touristy vibe that goes with it. Mesa Verde is the closest thing to Disneyland that I've encountered at a National Park. Guided tours. Lines. Semi-fabricated attractions. The cool thing about Spruce House is that it's condition is a lot closer to what it was when people lived in it than when it was first discovered, I'm sure. Would we be better off seeing things in a more natural state, though? I'm not sure I have an opinion one way or the other. it's just a question I've asked myself since visiting the park.
