Not only are the cliff dwellings collapsing at Mesa Verde, so are the alcoves above the cliff dwellings. In this photo, the park attempts to stop entropy with a well-placed steel rod (lower left).
Just what every cliff dweller needs… stairs.

This is one of few photos that I attempted to edit, adding a mask in Photoshop to offset the wall to the left. Before I started tinkering, I really liked this photo, thinking it could be a “maybe I can be” photo. But now I think it looks like crap.
Mesa Verde is perhaps the most highly-guarded National Park in the US. No back-country hiking. No back-country camping. One road through the park. Only a handful of the 600+ cliff dwellings are viewable to the public and of these, most can only be seen from the road.
