Very fun hike full of beautiful scenery. Glad I hiked this on when I did because route finding was difficult so with assistance from my GPS I was able to simply navigate up the dry creek bed to the ruins. Use caution I saw what I believe to be a bear swimming in the river from a distance, It was black in color and dove under water briefly like it was after fish, he cam up and shook the water from his head then I lost sight of him. Also something is living in one of the cliff dwellings, not sure if it was just the bats as described in the book Hiking Ruins Seldom Seen. It had a strong odor when I was about 5 feet from the entrance. It smelled more like urine to me plus biased on the books info its the wrong time of year for the bats to be living there.
