Today, the Puebloan peoples maintain a rich culture influenced by their ancestors who once occupied this broad expanse. Visitors can contemplate the lives of the former inhabitants while walking the trail through what was once the largest pueblo here, the West Ruin. Books, postcards, slides, posters, replica pottery, and videos are for sale. A trail guide booklet is available to borrow or buy. The trail passes through several rooms with intact original roofs, as well as the reconstructed Great Kiva, a round semi-subterranean room once important for community activities.
Rangers occasionally give interpretive talks during the summer.
It is closed Christmas and New Year's Day. There is an entrance fee. Children under 17 enter free. Golden Eagle, Golden Age, and Golden Access Passports are honored and available at the information desk. Food, gas, and lodging are available in nearby Aztec, and in Farmington, about 15 miles away.
