After stopping at Chimney Rock National Monument, we continued on to Mesa Verde, arriving there in the afternoon. We had time to do a couple of short hikes. The first hike was Point Lookout, from the park's campground. We didn't dawdle on this hike, because the skies were threatening to thunderstorm.

No cliff dwelling views on this hike, but this hike does have great views.

Nice map of the route and route information at the trailhead.
