This was interesting but not sure it was worth a 90 minute ride down a snake path to get there. Seriously it took an hour and a half to get there. The whole hike took 30 minutes. You could spend as much time as you wanted looking around. The dogs were unreal. After hiking up to the cliffs we had a picnic and it was hard to enjoy the beautiful scenery with the dogs locked in the kennel. If you like long rides on 15-25 MPH roads then this is for you.

Our experience here was awesome. My husband and I visited the dwellings the first week in May 2017 .We got a late start coming out. The volunteer that day was Linda. She was very knowledgeable. She let my husband use her walking stick shared her water and helped us get to the bottom. I would like to nominate her for volunteer of the year. She worked at a local hospital

There are signs all over the site warning about snakes, didn't see a one. The staff said they rarely see any, if ever. Lots of lizards though! The hike up is short and we met several retired couples with huge shades & white knee socks who had no problems. If you do have a problem climbing up, climb down the way you came. It's a loop trail and the other descent is steeper with pretty much all huge stairs and no hand rails. The drive to the site has amazing views and plenty of pull offs to take pictures. Do not go by google maps to plan your travel time, you will be late. It's about 45 minutes from the junction of 15 & 35 in the off season and that's if you do not stop to take pictures. You will stop.

Beautiful. A must see if you like hiking, camping, and natural beauty. It's a relative easy hike with plenty of benches along the trail. Bring a camera.

Little bit of a winding road to get there, but the dwellings are spectacular. The guides know so much and kept the kids engaged. It's probably just a matter of time before visitors are no longer permitted to walk among the ruins due to how heavily worn they're becoming. Nice little hike to get to them from the ranger station.
