Kin Kletso was built toward the end of the classic Chaco construction era.
About 65 rooms have been identified. There was two central kivas and three somewhat smaller kivas. Tree ring data indicate that it was built in 1125-1130 AD.
The Great House was first excavated in 1934. You can reach the site on the Pueblo Alto or Penasco Blanco Hiking Trail (it is the first site you see to the west as you leave the parking area).
[Information from National Park Service website describing the Pueblo Alto hiking trail, and the Chaco Research Archive - Kin Kletso.]
