For cheap 4 dollars you can take a very special impression with a small thrill factor here. Attention: guided tours, several times per day (depending on season) - but limited seats. Tickets must already at the Visitor Center to buy (from there one hour drive!) The best informed several days in advance

Excellent tour by ranger David Nighteagle, who even favored us with a rendition of a song on a handcrafted flute made by his own hand at the end. My teens loved his sense of humor, and he kept us all on our toes! Excellent information and really intimate and well preserved site. The ladders are tall, but fun for us, and I even squeezed myself through the little tunnel (being a bit claustrophobic)!

Was very disappointed that we did not get to go into any of the rooms outlined on the map and info I read about this tour. Cliff House was better in my opinion. 50 people on a tour is too many. It should be 1/2 that amount. Make sure if you go, too see Spruce House. It is self guided and worth the visit. All in all, I would come back again. It is quite an AMAZING place.

This incredible site was so worth the visit! It was strenuous and I would not bring toddlers, but several were on this hike at the same time as us and they did not die so it is possible! The buildings are beautiful, the ranger did a fantastic job interpreting the site and the views were fantastic. Definitely do this hike if you possibly can!

My favorite house! The ladder and the tunnel were awesome, and although it is a smaller house, it feels more majestic. I loved it!

Amazing cliff dwelling with steep paths, stairs, ladders, and a small tunnel to crawl through. Truely worth the effort.

Definitely should be on your list when visiting Mesa Verde. Quite smaller than Cliff House but just as impressive.

One of the smallest tours, but you get more experience by crawling through entryways and climbing large ladders

My favourite tour in Mesa Verde! Smaller than Cliff Palace but the approach and return are half the fun.

What an important part of history that most of do not know. Am honored I was able to see it.
