This was a beautiful experience. I highly recommended it! I want to reiterate the important details about this hike:

#1) The dirt road to drive in does have some areas of sheer cliffs on the side and an SUV is recommended. You could probably do it in a car if you have higher clearance than average. You do have to cross a creek in your vehicle unless you take one of 2-3 available parking spots that appear immediately before the creek crossing to your left. You can park in one of those spots and start your hike by crossing the creek on foot, since you have to do that about 10-15 times during the hike anyway. But there is more parking if you simply drive across the creek, which is the normal parking area. It seemed like it could fit about 20 vehicles.

#2) The permits are for Noon to Noon. 24 hour pass. $15 per person (adult). We actually waited until Noon to enter the reservation just in case. I'm not sure how important that is.

#3) There is some trash along the hike. We didn't bring a garbage bag. I usually try to bring a trash bag to haul out trash that I discover. If you have the desire to, please bring a bag and help us all clean up the place a bit. I brought back some water bottles that we found and a few cans in my pack.

#4) Don't go after a rain, I read reviews online that said the water is much more brown/mucky after a rain. You also don't want the water to be too high. We were up to our knees a few times and hiked in October.

Enjoy!

We were unable to reach the Cliff Dwellings due to ice across the path (see uploaded images). We were about 2/3rds of the way in. Will try again during the warmer months. It's been a cold/wet season.
