Went with a determined group of hikers wanting to visit these cliff dwellings. With Eric Stewart, Matt Bond, Denis Evans, Eric Cope, Duane Bigelow, John Day, Riley Kimbal, Mike Mattes, Ken Schoepen, and Wendy Jones.

Mike and Ken took a different route following Cooper Forks Creek way up until you could almost directly contour across to the ruins. We arrived at the ruins at 10:10 am, they made it at 11:30am. Can't say which route is easier...

Suffered a flat tire on the way up - rock slashed my sidewall on FR203 between Ellison Ranch and Devil's Chasm. No problems negotiating Devil's Chasm on the way in. On the way out, another story. Both John's Jeep and my F-150 needed to be towed up by Matt's Toyota Tundra!

Great time had by all. Plotting our next adventure - Comb Ridge maybe?
