Get your first view of SPRUCE TREE RUIN from the balcony in the Museum area—then ...
Carefully plan your sightseeing to Cliff Palace and the other big ruins.
THE RUINS ROAD DRIVES
The main sightseeing drives are normally open from 7:00 a. m. to sundown. There are two 6-mile loops starting from the Spruce Tree Museum Area. Use your own car or join the tour-guided sightseeing bus trips. When following the Ruins Road Drives, park your car and walk to overlooks, viewpoints, and down trails to the major ruins where ranger-archaeologists are stationed to explain all details.
