Long House
Many of the walls in the back of the alcove are original. Look for corn cob impressions and even fingerprints! (But remember, don't touch!!)

Hot desert on the outside, cool alcove on the inside.

Long House, from the end of the trail.
Masonry built around fallen boulders (front), and a multi-story room built to perfectly match the curve of the natural alcove (back). Part of the upper alcove can also be seen in the upper right.
Climbing the ladder is necessary
First view of Long House, after the trail is taken into the canyon, but before entering the site.
Rock Canyon view.
