There are also wonderful, non-cliff dwelling Anasazi ruins in New Mexico. The best are Chaco Culture NP and Aztec Ruins NM, both near Farmington. You can drive right to each of those ruins and use level walkways to get up close.
And,if you go to the Mesa Verde NP area, you can spend hours at the Anasazi Heritage Center near Dolores, CO. There you can see more Anasazi artifacts up close (as in, through a microscope!), than you can at any of the national parks or monuments. And, they even have Anasazi ruins right behind the museum building that you can walk to.
Mesa Verde was on our list of places to go for sure, but I understand its also not particularly handicapped accessible, but at least we can see the ruins from certain vantage points Chaco is definitely on our list, but that dirt road sort of freaks me out and Aztec for sure. Thanks so much.
