Unfortunately for our safety this site is currently closed to tours, but it can be seen from the path. Still worth the stop

I enjoyed watch a sudden thunderstorm over the Spruce Tree House, there were two instant waterfalls next to the Spruce Tree House and right over it. You instantly realized why the ancient natives selected this place for dwelling, maybe easy access to rain falls and water collection? I even caught a lightning on my video, it was awesome! Cheers!

This is my favorite cliff dwelling to date. Truly a stunning site. There is no access to the dwelling right now. But we are told it will be open in the near future.
