Wouldn’t waste your time with how far this is out of the way driving unless you’re hiking the area for a few days. Bandelier and other locations have just as good ruins, and are much closer to the road. The hike itself was relatively simple and it was nice to go inside the ruins. Apparently they only live there for 30 years.

The roads there are very steep, see image, consider leaving your trailer before you enter the dead end that is most of the road there, nearly 30 miles long.

Loved this experience!! It's a self guided tour through amazing ruins that you rarely get to experience. I was in in awe and humbled! The Rangers are just genuinely kind people who were informative and thoughtful. There is a place for your dog to hang out while you hike up. The Rangers will treat them well!! They even gave me other little "hidden areas" to explore within the park. It takes a while to get there and i wish I had gone earlier in the day.. but it was so worth it!

Awesome place, one mile loop trail to see ruins. You can go inside the ruins but stay out of where they don’t want you to go. There are five separate rock shelters. Park staff are very informative. At visitor center they have a must see movie and museum.
The ride there is beautiful mountain scenery. Ask about the pictographs and 700 year old pile of corn cobs.

It's a long drive on narrow winding mountain roads to get there. Beautiful scenery the entire way. The cliff dwellings are amazing, and the caretakers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Great parking, cute little store, decent hike, bits of it were above average. One of the last few places that allow you to actually climb up and in. They provided ladders so that you could peer inside the rooms as they have no doorways.
Friendly informative staff.
In November, there was frost on the path where the sun never reached, even though comfy 65 degrees

The day was perfect. The volunteers were awesome. Pam was so helpful answering a handful of questions from Dawn and I. There is a 600 ft. gain but gradual to the pueblos. Down from the parking lot in the lower scorpion campground was a cool display of lithographs.

The Gila Cliff Dwellings are so worth the drive. Because it is so remote, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The park volunteers and Rangers were exceedingly knowledgeable and had wonderful insight. If you find yourself in southwest New Mexico with half a day to spend, go here.

Nice hike to the cliff dwelling. Cool that you can walk around inside the cliff dwelling. Part of the hike is steep and the elevation is a factor. We brought water with us. The person working inside of the cliff dwelling is very knowledgeable and nice. He pointed out the drawings and gave us some history. Glad we stopped. We were there in November.
