Loved every minute of my little hike here. Looking at all the Cliff Dwellings and rock formations. It’s super cool to be able to be up in the dwellings and see how they lived. The rangers and volunteers are so helpful. Be aware of snakes on your walk, stick to the trails and do not wander. Tell the ranger station of any snakes you encounter and please don’t try to be a hero and move the snakes. Be cautious and careful and leave that up to the experts. Remember, they really won’t bother you unless you attempt to “poke the bear”, please don’t poke the bear!

The area is fascinating. I went and saw the caves first, nothing like it, pictures do not do it justice. Rod was the guide that helped me out in the beginning explaining the trail, very informative and knowledgeable. Rory was another volunteer on site at the caves that shared specific info of the area itself. I then hiked into Little Bear Canyon not a hard trail but some points are more intermediate difficulty.
