Cliff Dwellings Overlook and Trail

$25 entry fee to even just stop and take a quick pic. Not worth it unless you plan on sticking around and hiking.

Cliff Dwellings Overlook.

Cliff Dwellings Overlook and Trail

Paved trails, though somewhat steep, lead from the visitor center down to the site where you can get a very close-up look at the dwellings. Great stop as you're passing through on I-40 or day trip if you're around the area.
