Depending on how much time you have, if you get interested in the Ancestral Puebloans, you could also visit the Anasazi Heritage Center museum just up the road in Dolores, CO. Also nearby is Hovenweep National Historical site with great ruins you can walk through with far fewer crowds.

Agree completely with NCWriter! The Anasazi Heritage Center, in my opinion, is the best Ancestral Pueblo museum anywhere in the Four Corners region. And I would even stay just west of the Anasazi Heritage Center at the Juniper Campground at McPhee Reservoir Recreation Area and not at Morefield inside Mesa Verde.
