| no partners | | This is a fun trail. There's a couple of tunnels, one near the top and one near the bottom. Walking down through the bottom one is especially nice as the tunnel frames a small field with a Hogan in it. The trail descent/climb is simple to follow and the trail is wide enough that there is minimal exposure. The views up and down the canyon are very nice too and they make it very easy to stop for a rest break on the climb and take it all in.
Once on the canyon floor, there is a bridge across the creek to the side the ruins are on, then a short walk along the creek to the ruins. There are outhouses on the opposite side of the creek from the ruins. There is a bridge across the creek to get to them, but it is currently closed from, I believe, erosion that has undermined the bridge support.
The white house ruins make the hike every bit worth the effort. Be sure to bring binoculars to study the pictographs on the walls and to spot the hand prints. We forgot ours, but fortunately another visitor kept handing us his so we could peek at what he had seen. |
