Balcony House
The most adventurous cliff dwelling tour: climb a 10-meter wooden ladder, squeeze through a narrow tunnel and scramble along the cliff face to see a remarkably well-preserved balcony.
Balcony House has about 40 rooms and takes its name from its well-preserved wooden balcony. The ranger-led tour lasts about an hour. It requires climbing a long ladder of about 10 meters and crawling through a narrow tunnel roughly 4 meters long, so those who are afraid of heights or enclosed spaces should think twice. Tickets must be booked in advance on recreation.gov, and group sizes are limited. The site is on the Cliff Palace Loop Road, south of Cliff Palace.
