You really can't go wrong with the grand circle tour. As a suggestion, the Ute Tribal Park is a "must see". The park practically surrounds Mesa Verde and has not been "restored". You'll see pottery, corn cobs, sandals and other artifacts plus hear a rich and authentic history of the Hopi, Navajo and Ute tribes (try to get Rick as your guide). See Mesa Verde for sure but don't miss the Ute Tribal Park.

We also found Hovenweep National Monument a worthwhile stop as well. Perfect for an afternoon/evening visit. I've attached a couple of photos.
