Very interesting place to visit, lots of places to explore and see ruins. There is still dig sights going on currently, Science! Takes about 1 to 2 hrs if rushing through or 3 to 5 if you take you time and enjoy it all. Watch out for the bats in the some of the ruins

Respectful preservation of American castle's built by the culturally advanced people. We really shouldn't have to drive all the way out here to learn so much. Talk to the rangers and people to learn more about this vibrant and alive location.

Really neat ruins! Had a nice time walking around and seeing them. Trail is easy and under a mile. Make sure to check out the information in the visitor center too!

Honestly, I had no clue what to expect. But we were driving this way after Mesa Verde, and decided to stop off. It was so interesting to walk around and through the ruins and learn about the people who constructed them and lived there. We spent about 30 mins in total here. I suggest listening to the accompanying National Parks podcast as you walk around. Not the best quality, but it helps you understand what you're looking at. Scan the QR code before going into the visitors center. Covid restrictions still apply. Only 4 allowed into the bookshop at a time. Rangers and bookshop only available/open Thursday-Sun, 9am-12pm and 1:30pm-5pm. Park gates close at 5pm. Restrooms were clean and had running water.

The walk through was amazing. They have a QR code audio tour that you can play while you check out the ruins. Some local artists was selling some of his beautiful art. Very glad we randomly stopped here!

Amazing ruins. Arguably a better experience than Chaco Canyon and much easier to get to.
