We checked out the mine on the way to the dwellings and that was really cool; the walls had turquoise colors that were so unique! I’ve seen a lot of dwellings all over AZ and I have to say that these were quite impressive. I enjoyed the first large set the most and we took a long break/lunch there. There was a fair amount of bushwhacking in between the different sets of dwellings and we all got grabbed by catclaw (wear pants!). We visited the first 3 sets of dwellings before deciding to turn back as they were progressively not as in tact. Very pretty views and not as difficult as the hike the day prior. Also, we only saw our mutual friends that we knew would be hiking the same trail that day, so that’s always a bonus! 
We were planning on hitting up the crack house (cold spring canyon) on the way back, but since we’d spent so much time exploring the ruins, we didn’t have enough daylight left. That just means there will be a return trip though! This wilderness area is growing on me as a nice escape from crowded trails, beautiful sweeping views and so much interesting history. I have a feeling I’ll be spending more time here soon!
