Guided tours of the Cliff Dwellings are offered daily at 1 pm Mountain Time.  Guided tours are not offered on busy holiday weekends when increased visitation to the dwellings makes such tours impractical.  Please note that the tours start at the Cliff Dwellings and it takes about one half hour to walk up to the Cliff Dwellings from the trailhead. Visitors are free to tour the Cliff Dwellings on their own anytime during park hours. Visitor hours at the Cliff Dwellings are 9 am to 4 pm Mountain Time year-round.

Other tours and programs may be offered depending upon staffing availability. Check ahead for times and other activities by calling the Gila Visitor Center at 575-536-9461 or visit the on-line calendar of scheduled events.
