Once we checked into the campground, we went to the ranger office where tickets for tours are sold and purchased tickets for 3 tours for the next day.
We set out Thursday morning for our first tour Balcony House bright and early beginning at 8 a.m. sharp. It is located on Chapin Mesa, not too far from our campground so it didn't take too long of a drive to get there. It lasted about an hour. There were some small spaces to crawl through. Talk about claustrophobia! And there isn't really any turning back once you start because it is a one way tour. If you suffer from claustrophobia or anxiety, it really is mind over matter, taking deep breaths and removing the focus to something else. Anyhow, it was fun to learn about these cliff dwellers. It is crazy how they got there in the first place, tucked away in the side of a mesa and were able to build homes. It is believed that these homes were only temporary.
