My 2 wheel drive truck made it past silver creek and up to the top of the mesa. I would not try this in anything without high clearance and not after a rain. We parked next to the tanks before the ruins to check for any signs of quail, rabbit...anyway a short hike in was the official entrance to the site. The sign was empty, BLM is aware. At first we thought the ruins were what looked like two abandoned tanks right next to the parking area. Luckily the real trail was found through the over grown grass. We walked around the ruins which looked pretty substantial. Side note: Buy drone. The walls in the center were easily 5-6 feet and the outlying rooms were 3-4 feet with plenty of evidence that there was more buried. Shards and flakes were everywhere even in the trail. Walk softly. I searched the perimeter for petroglyphs but could find any. I will be out on the monument again after searching google maps and locating several similarly interesting sites. I may need to borrow some 4x4 or stay overnight for a few.
