Cliff Canyon Overlook and Cliff Palace Loop Road are open 8 am to sunset from late spring to December 1, or until the first significant snowfall.
The Cliff Canyon Overlook opens up to a stunning view of Cliff Canyon. In the 1200s, Cliff Canyon was a thriving neighborhood, where Ancestral Pueblo people went about their daily lives.
With careful observation, visitors can spot House of Many Windows, Site 634, Sun Point Cliff Dwelling, and Mummy House perched in the canyon walls. Sun Temple sits on the mesa top across the canyon.
