Overview. These ruins, the remains of a large Indian pueblo, were discovered in 1877 by Professor William H. Holmes. The site has yet to be excavated, so visitors can only see the mounds that once were limestone buildings. The largest of these is at least 15 feet high. What to see and do. The site is open to the public, but it has no visitor facilities or other services. Yucca House is located 15 miles south of Cortez, CO; the road to the ruins is not developed and is practically impossible to travel when wet. Check with the Park Service at Mesa Verde National Park for specific directions to the site.
