Although tracing specific migrations of the people is difficult, generally they traveled southeast to join existing pueblos along the Rio Grande, south to the Zuni area, or west to join the Hopi villages in Arizona. The West Ruin, the excavated great house that visitors can tour, had at least 400 interconnected rooms built around an open plaza. Books, postcards, slides, posters, 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 Thanksgiving , Christmas, and New Year's Day. Ruins walls are fragile and crumble easily if walked upon. Please stay on the paved trail and off the walls. Artifacts, plants, and animals should be left undisturbed. No pets are allowed on the trail.
