CLIFF PALACE-BALCONY HOUSE CIRCUIT
Outstanding features of this 6-mile loop are: the opportunity to be guided through Cliff Palace and Balcony House ruins by well-informed ranger-archaeologists; and stops at many overlooks, from which smaller and inaccessible cliff dwellings are pointed out by viewfinders. Before starting, go to the Museum for a time schedule of guided tours. The turn-off to the Cliff Palace loop is the second junction after turning east at the Spruce Tree Crossroads. Rim viewpoints are all marked by rustic signs and provided with viewfinders and other informational material. Allow three to four hours for this spectacular sightseeing trip.
