We had Marty for our guide for the Mesa Verde tour. He was super knowledgeable and a fun guide. In fact we had him the day before on the Silverton jeep ride the day before and found out we could request him for Mesa Verde the following day! He made this trip fun. He had way more information than the ranger did who escorted us to Cliff Palace. It’s a long hot day. Make sure to bring your water & sunscreen! Don’t forget your camera. Ask Marty and he’ll take your picture so everyone can be in the shot!
