Hike Point Lookout Trail
This trail is located within Morefield Campground in Mesa Verde National Park. The parking lot also serves as the parking lot for the amphitheater, so it's pretty huge - unless there's a program going on you shouldn't have to worry about finding a spot.

Camp at Morefield Campground
Morefield Campground is located 4 miles inside of Mesa Verde National Park. There are 267 sites in the campground, and it has tent-only loops. There are also 15 full-hookup RV sites, with many more able to fit RVs. Reservations are recommended, but are not required; the full-hookup sites are the first to fill, but you should have pretty good luck getting a tent site without a reservation.

The trail starts out in a grassy meadow but quickly opens up to exp...

Continue over the wooden footbridge and enjoy the 1.5 mile hike up to Gudy'...
Explore Park Point in Mesa Verde National Park
The Park Point Trail is the highest point in Mesa Verde National Park, and being close to the four corners, you can see for hundreds of miles in every direction on a clear day. It's a very short walk from the car, and there are several nice lookouts along the way, but be sure to walk all the way to the top for the most spectacular lookout of them all.
Go for sunrise and sunset for the gorgeous...
