👍👍 Not a lot of parking, so I can see this place easily getting crowded during peak season. As it was today, Sept 12 it was already starting to feel a bit cramped. The very short walk itself is easy and scenic on a well maintained wooden path. You get to see the petroglyphs on the rock wall from afar,...

Archaeological site of a ceremonial structure thought to be an ancient Pueblo astronomy observatory.

👍👍 Neat complex of mesa top ruins you can walkthrough and explore. Easy to walk to and access, and quite impressive.

👍👍 Amazing to camp in the places where our ancestors lived. This national monument is huge and magical. Free primitive dispersed camping in their footsteps. Many ruins to explore. Knowledgeable park staff answer questions, direct you to appropriate camping and viewing locations.
