| Since most visitors spend a great deal of
time outdoors during a visit to Mesa Verde National Park,
you'll want to be prepared for the weather. Use the chart
and links below for weather information before your
trip. While in the park, daily forecasts are available at
the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum or Far View Visitor
Center (open mid-April to mid-October). During the winter,
the weather is usually mild, however, snowstorms can occur
as late as May and as early as October. June through
September are warm to hot, with cool evenings. Daytime
summer temperatures can reach into the 90's, so be sure to
bring and DRINK plenty of water. Afternoon thunderstorms are
common in July and August. |
