SUMMARY:A Day in the Life of the Ancient Ones Tour

Highlights of the tour will be a discussion of the plants and animals the Puebloans gathered and hunted\, what crops they farmed\, and how they utilized them in their daily lives over 1\,000 years ago. You will have the opportunity to hold ancient pottery\, touch the seeds they planted\, and experience the amazing strength of their yucca fiber ropes.

SUMMARY:Guided Great House Tour
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM DETAILS\nThe Guided Great House Tour is a personalized tour that really brings the Monument to life.  It is offered daily at 10:30 a.m. each morning. This guided tour takes visitors 1/3 mile up the Great Pueblo Trail\, making several stops along the way to learn about the ancient Puebloan structures built over 1\,000 years ago and their connection to the Chaco culture located 90 miles southwest of this spot. At the end of the trail\, visitors will enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from atop the mesa ridge. They will also be afforded the closest view possible of the two pinnacles: Chimney Rock and Companion Rock. Peregrine falcons are often sighted on the left side of Companion Rock\, so cameras are a must! \nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO\nThe hike up to the Chacoan Great House Pueblo may be difficult for some due to the steep gradient\, uneven footing\, and elevation ending at 7600 feet.  The elevation gain is 200 feet. Participants should be in reasonable physical condition and willing to hike mostly uphill for 1/3 mile (and return steeply downhill). \n  \nCheck-in is at the Gift Shop at 10:00 a.m.  The tour begins at 10:30 a.m. The fee is $20.00 for ages 13 and up and $10.00 for ages 5-12 and is considered a non-refundable and non-transferable donation.  Recommended for ages 5 and above due to uneven\, rocky steps and steep drop offs. \nTICKETS\nMaking a reservation through the Recreation.gov website or the call center (877-444-6777) is the only way to guarantee a spot for this tour.

SUMMARY:A Tour of Two Trails
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM DETAILS\nA Tour of Two Trails is offered on Wednesday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. and on Friday mornings from 7:15 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. This engaging two-hour tour will spotlight several topics aimed specifically at interpreting the history and significance of Chimney Rock and the ancestral Puebloans who inhabited the area over 1\,000 years ago. The tour delves into the connection of Chimney Rock to the greater Chaco Culture\, the significance of the mesa top Great House Pueblo\, and the day-to-day lives of the inhabitants of Chimney Rock. \nThe tour takes visitors along both the Mesa Village Trail and the Great House Trail to learn specifics about the structures along the way – their significance and uses. At the end of the trail\, visitors will enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from atop the mesa ridge. They will also be afforded the closest view possible of the two pinnacles: Chimney Rock and Companion Rock. Peregrine falcons are often sighted on the left side of Companion Rock\, so cameras are a must! Of special note\, the tour will be conducted in the quiet off-hours of the Monument. The hike up to the Chacoan Great House Pueblo may be difficult for some due to the steep gradient\, uneven footing\, and elevation ending at 7600 feet. The elevation gain is 200 feet. Participants should be in reasonable physical condition and willing to hike mostly uphill for 1/3 mile (and return steeply downhill). \nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO \nCheck-in is at the Highway 151 entrance gate at the time stated below for each tour. Please adhere to the check-in timeline. The gate will be locked at the end of that time. Please note that the tour will begin promptly at the end of the check-in period\, so it will not be possible to accommodate late arrivals.
