Arrive before 9am and you can drive straight to entrance (around the gate) instead of taking the shuttle. Definitely do the ladders to the Alcove House, it's the best part of the park.
A great hiking area. The cliff dwellings are interesting. The hiking trails are nice. Can hike 5 miles, up 800' without knowing it. Family friendly. Kind of reminded me of a mini Zion.
Skip the tourists and annoyances at the main route and head straight for Tsankawi - a prehistoric site that hasn't been dug up. It's prettier, more authentic, and you're alone! Absolutely incredible!
Late afternoon visit on New Year’s day was beautiful after a snow. Only had time for the main loop and Alcove house, but they are well worth it. Will spend much more time exploring here next time!
Great park that you can explore in a day. Get up early and drive in right at 9 to get parking and beat the crowds. You’ll feel like you have the place to yourself. Magical.
On a clear winter’s day, this place was amazing. Hike out the main loop in the sun and be impressed by the ancient civilization. Then walk back through the snow covered canyon floor... beautiful!
