We had an amazing time! The Cliffs are tour guided only, and ran us about $25 per person. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. We enjoyed learning so many intimate details and history about this beautiful place. The van takes you up and we chose to hike down, but if you prefer they can give you a van ride back down. I also noticed some 1 star reviews due to them being closed at 4. If you arrive shortly before 4 and they close at 4 why would you think there's enough time for you to be given the tou... read more
The tour was so amazing! Our tour guide Ernest/Ernesto was truly wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. His humorous yet insightful tour was one for the record books! My dad and I took the long way down the cliff slide and it was well worth the extra walking and learning even more about the area.
Excellent tour, one of the highlights of our trip! So much history and very interactive. Both the tour guide and bus driver were friendly and funny. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We went up via bus and down via hiking and using the ladder. So much history at a fair price. I wish there were more t shirts and local items in the gift shop for sale. Highly recommend a visit here!
Tour was fascinating and fun. Took ~1 hr to tour the remains of the Puye settlement atop the mesa, then descend the cliffs via ladders and carved staircases. Many petroglyphs to see on the cliffs and nearby rocks, and pieces of beautiful pottery were scattered everywhere (don’t remove anything!). I felt honored and grateful to have the opportunity to learn about this people who enjoyed such a rich culture in this beautiful, ever-changing landscape.
It was worth taking the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had grown up playing and hunting in the area as a kid. You start at the top of the Mesa at the old settlement then go down the sides of the cliff to look at the dwellings.
