Far View Sites Complex
Far View Sites
A cluster of Puebloan villages and ancient reservoirs on the mesa top, including the Mammoth Reservoir, showing mesa life before cliff dwellings appeared.
Far View House is a ground-level village of about 40 rooms, surrounded by the Pipe Shrine House, the Far View Tower and water-collection structures. The flat trail is about 1 km long, and you can explore on your own in about 30 to 45 minutes. It's free. The sites lie beside the main road into the Chapin Mesa area, near the Far View Lodge hotel and restaurant, and are best visited early in the morning or in the evening.
