    About

    Cliff Palace is a notable archaeological site that can be accessed via a moderate hiking trail. The route involves descending and ascending stairs and walking on uneven paths, with a total duration of approximately 2 hours. Visitors can explore the well-preserved cliff dwellings, which are a prominent feature of the site, and learn about the history and culture of the Ancestral Pueblo people who once inhabited this area. The site is open year-round, and visitors can park in a designated area, with pets allowed in certain areas outside of the dwelling itself.
