A cliff dwelling 140 feet above the floor of the canyon in a natural alcove. In addition to dwelling and storage rooms, there was a large turkey pen and a kiva. The kiva has been reconstructed on location.
This site is reached by a combination of ladders and metal steps.
The view from the site is breath taking in more ways than one. A line of footholds can be seen leading up from the alcove to the ground above the canyon.
