Guided Great House Tour
2026-05-15 10:00 - 12:00 UTC
PROGRAM DETAILS
The 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!
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
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).

Check-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.

PROGRAM DETAILS
A Mystery Tour of Chimney Rock is offered on Monday and Friday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m., and on Wednesday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.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.
The 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.

Major Lunar Standstill
2025-10-11 21:30 - 22:30 (America/Denver)
PROGRAM DETAILS
Most people are familiar with the Moon’s cycle and how its shape changes from crescent to full, and its rising position fluctuates along the horizon. However, unknown to many, the Moon has a much longer cycle called the Major Lunar Standstill (MLS). Every 18-19 years, the Moon’s tilted orbit aligns with the Earth’s axis, bringing it to its farthest Northern or Southern rising positions. At Chimney Rock National Monument, throughout this Major Lunar Standstill alignment, the Moon dramatically rises between the impressive rock pinnacles — Companion Rock and Chimney Rock. It is a timely, but very short-lived event. A thousand years ago, when the Ancient Puebloan people built the Great House and other ceremonial spaces at Chimney Rock, they did so with the purpose, as many of today’s scholars believe, to view this rare and spectacular event.
Two consecutive September and one October night events will be held at the Chimney Rock National Monument Amphitheater to explore the current Major Lunar Standstill at this important Native American site and its relationship to Stonehenge and other worldwide locations. These late-night presentations will feature telescopes and stargazing under the Monument’s majestic dark skies, presentations on astronomy, archaeology and culture from leading experts, Native American music; and, most importantly, a live-streamed viewing of the Moon rising between the natural pinnacles. The MLS season is drawing to a close after 2025. This dramatic moonrise won’t be seen again for 18 years.
Because access to the upper area of the Monument is restricted for safety concerns, these events will be held in the accessible, outdoor Amphitheater near the Visitor Center. And there, after an informative program preceding the event, the long awaited and anticipated rise of the Moon between the pinnacles will be shared via satellite from our crew on the upper mesa.
On Saturday, September 13th, check-in will be at the Visitor Center kiosk from 9:30 pm to 10:30 pm. The Amphitheater program will begin at 10:45 pm for presentations by guest speakers. The live stream of the moonrise will take place at 11:30 pm. The event will then conclude at about 11:45 pm.
On Sunday, September 14th, check-in will be at the Visitor Center kiosk from 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm. The Amphitheater program will begin at 11:45 pm. The live-streamed moonrise will take place at 12:30 am. The event will then conclude at about 12:45 am.
On Saturday, October 11th, check-in will be at the Visitor Center kiosk from 8:30 pm to 9:15 pm. The Amphitheater program will begin at 9:30 pm for presentations by guest speakers. The live stream of the moonrise will take place at 10:20 pm. The event will conclude shortly after the moonrise.
Please dress warmly for these late-night events and consider bringing blankets and cushions for your comfort on the stone seats. No alcohol, smoking/vaping, or drugs — only a “once in a lifetime” experience to be had in our beautiful, natural setting. This program is not suitable for dogs, with the exception of certified service dogs. Come join us in celebrating this rare event. The next Major Lunar Standstill season won’t happen for another 18 years!
This MLS event may be modified or canceled due to weather or conditions outside of our control. If the event is modified, but not cancelled, no refunds will be issued. If the entire event is canceled, refunds can only be issued by contacting Recreation.gov which issued the reservation. No refunds will be issued for no-shows.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $12 for ages 5-12, and free for those under 5. Making a reservation through the Recreation.gov website (www.recreation.gov) or the call center (877-444-6777) is the only way to guarantee a spot for this program, since seating is limited. Recreation.gov charges a $1 reservation fee that is non-refundable. Reservations will be cut off 12 hours prior to the start of the program. Walk-ins will be accommodated if space is available. Tickets are $25 for adults and $12 for ages 5–12 and will be sold on a first come, first served basis.

Chimney Rock Through the Ages Tour
2025-10-11 08:00 - 10:30 UTC
PROGRAM DETAILS
This fascinating 2.5 hour guided tour explores both the natural and cultural history of the Chimney Rock area. The tour takes you on a journey through geologic time and incorporates the anthropology and archeology of the Puebloan people who occupied this site more than 1,000 years ago. Participants will learn how to identify the common rocks and fossils in the area. Rock types impact structures, pottery, tools, and soil productivity; geologic processes determine the landscape; and, at Chimney Rock, play a central role in climate. The relationship between the pillars and the South San Juan Mountains in terms of astronomical observations will be discussed. The tour also covers the key points discussed in the archaeological focused tours like the Great House Tour.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
The hike up to the Chacoan Great House Pueblo offers great views and photo opportunities but 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). The tour length includes 30 minutes for hiking to and from the Great House.

Summer Youth Workshops
The workshops, scheduled for June 10 and 24, and July 8 and 22, offer elementary-aged children the chance to explore the rich history and natural beauty of this iconic landmark. Led by mostly retired school teachers, the Youth Workshops are designed to provide children with a unique, hands-on experience at the monument while fostering their creativity and appreciation for nature. “We’re thrilled to be celebrating the fifth year of our Youth Workshops,” said Denise Fisk, CRIA volunteer. “The program continues to grow and provides an amazing opportunity for children to connect with nature, history, and the arts. We’re proud to offer a hands-on educational experience that’s led by such passionate and knowledgeable volunteers.”
This year’s workshops will feature a variety of engaging activities, such as rock wrapping, feather art, printmaking, weaving in the round, creating a clay ocarina, and learning how to make a nature journal. The day kicks off with a hike with a theme, allowing participants to learn about the natural and cultural significance of Chimney Rock while exploring its breathtaking landscapes. After lunch, children will immerse themselves in activities that tie into the theme of the day, ensuring both fun and education go hand-in-hand. Parents have shared how much their children have enjoyed these workshops over the years. One parent commented, “This was the 4th year my daughter has attended and she is still just as excited as the first.” Another said, “My son looks forward to these fun learning workshops! I also enjoy a few minutes for myself! Thank you for all the knowledge, and I hope my son can be a part of this experience next year.”
Workshops are open to elementary-aged children, and parent volunteers are always welcome to join in the fun and learning.
CRIA encourages parents to register early.

Early Tour/ Full Moon Program
2025-10-06 16:45 - 17:30 UTC
PROGRAM DETAILS
This guided tour is offered in conjunction with the Full Moon Program for a more comprehensive study of Chimney Rock National Monument. It starts late afternoon before the Full Moon Program to merge with that wondrous night sky experience later in the evening. The entire program lasts approximately four hours versus the shorter, three-hour Full Moon Program.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
This tour takes the visitor on the 1/3-mile paved Mesa Village Trail, then proceeds up the Great House Trail to join the Full Moon Program. 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. Please keep in mind that the lecture before the moonrise is approximately 30 minutes in length, and the hike back down the high mesa occurs after dark. 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). This program is not suitable for children under 8, and parents are asked to closely supervise their children for the safety of all attendees. Water, flashlights, and a blanket or mat for ground seating (no chairs) are recommended.

Note: if no one has signed up for the tour by online reservation within the allotted time frame, the tour will not run. Refunds will be issued only for cancelled – not modified – tours/programs. No refunds will be issued for no-shows.
