Park Layout
The entrance ranger station is open year round, 8 to 4:30, though the ranger is sometimes out on patrol. There is a Park Entrance Fee of $6 that is good for 7 days, and the ruins can be viewed anytime. Like most destinations in southern Utah, spring and fall are best times to go as temperatures are moderate. For more information, contact:
