Long House tour
Long House is considered the second largest cliff dwelling in the park. The sheer beauty of the site makes the trip out to Wetherill Mesa worth the time and effort.
The 1.5 hour Long House tour walks along a paved trail including 50 concrete steps. The trail descends 100 feet within a half mile of walking. The round trip is just under one mile.
The Long House tour is strenuous due to the heat, elevation and steepness of the trail. The tour is not recommended for anyone with heart or respiratory problems. Long House, like all of the cliff dwellings, is located at approximately 7,000 feet elevation and involves strenuous physical activity.
Tickets for a 1.5 hour Long House tour must be purchased at the Far View Visitor Center before driving out to Wetherill Mesa.
