Coyote Village - Mesa Verde National Park - Colorado

Coyote Village is a site, found in the The Far View area of Mesa Verde National Park, in Colorado. It was once an extensive farming community and one of the most densely populated regions of Mesa Verde. In ancient times, it was a place of modest homes interspersed with small farm fields. picture a community filled with people, vibrant life, and constant change. Beginning around 800 CE, Ancestral Pueblo people lived here for several centuries, farming the deep mesa-top soils, building their homes, and raising their families. This was not always a quiet woodland. On a summer day in 1050 this ancient community would have been filled with the smell of juniper smoke and the sounds of everyday life: conversations between people working together, barking dogs, laughing children, ravens calling overhead, and the wind rustling through the shiny corn leaves. In the mid-1100s, there may have been at least 35 occupied villages (like Coyote Village) and surrounding farm and garden plots within a half-square-mile area, including those you can visit today. The archeological evidence at Coyote Village and other Far View sites, reveal the presence of thriving mesa top communities long before the existence of the more famous cliff dwellings, found in the national park. But they also help disclose another, little known fact. Not everyone ultimately moved into and lived in the cliff dwellings. Some families clearly chose to remain on the mesa top, like those at Coyote Village, well after many of their neighbors moved into cliff alcoves. You can reach Coyote Village by following signs to Far View and walking the trail back to the ruins. The walk back to it, is lined with juniper tree smells, a very sweet and pleasing smell to the senses. It improves the walk back to the car, after you visit the other sites at Far View, which are amazing in there own right!
