It's worth the time to learn about the Anasazi and protocols for visiting a site before going out into the backcountry. Other things to see in the canyons are arches and bridges carved into the rocks millions of years ago by erosion. Just the act of walking on the slickrock is a pleasure in itself. If one canyon isn't sufficient, there are enough canyons in the area to keep a person busy for years exploring, and each canyon has its own character. Take the time before going into a canyon to find out about the difficulty of the hike.
Some canyons require more climbing skills than others.
Directly to the south of Bluff and also just to the east are still more canyons to hike and explore. These canyons are loaded with archaeology, from rock art panels to large sites built in alcoves high up on the canyon walls or on the surface. The budding archaeologist can find more than enough to satisfy their curiosity. Mountain biking is growing in popularity in the Bluff area. Surrounding the town are enough areas to bike that will keep even the most enthusiastic bikers happy.
