Oak Tree House - Mesa Verde National Park, located in Colorado near the Four Corners, is an archeological paradise composed of about 600 cliff dwellings and about 4000 other important sites. Only a few sites are open to the public with the others protected for research, but these few offer a telling history into the world of Ancestral Puebloans. The dwellings of Mesa Verde date back 1400 years, and for 700 years these communities flourished. It is not fully understood why they were abandoned.

Oak Tree House, viewed here, can be seen from the Mesa Top Loop Drive along with several other cliff dwellings. The Park Service offers tours into a few of these.
