Starting from the back of the Visitor Center along the Pueblo Loop.

A kiva, a room used for ceremonies, etc.

Along the paved Pueblo Trail, fully signed and great for viewing the dwellings.



You can enter some of the pueblos, too.


View from along the Pueblo Loop back toward the visitor center.

A fun, paved trail to see some history.



Long House.



The far end of the Pueblo Loop.

I continued onward to the Alcove House.

Crossing over a creek on the way to Alcove House.


Looking up at Alcove House.

Fun ladders/stairs to get to Alcove House.



Alcove House.

Back at the junction with the Pueblo Loop, now heading along the Long Trail in order to reach the West Rim Trail. I just wanted to extend the hike a bit and get some views from above.

Heading up to the West Rim Trail.


View back into the main canyon.


West Rim Trail. I headed east along the rim.




Heading back down from the rim by following the West Rim Trail back to the visitor center.


After returning to the visitor center, I continued along the Frijoles Falls Trail.

Very pretty fall colors along the Frijoles Falls Trail.

Looking down into Frijoles Canyon.

The trail follows the creek closely the whole way down.

Cliffs start to appear farther down.

It gets cozy feeling, with some plank bridges and narrowing canyon.



Looking back, crazy textured cliffs on both sides of the canyon.

Looking back toward Frijoles Canyon, the way I came down.

Upper Falls is just below me on the left, but you can't see it until you get to the overlook.

Close-up into the canyon after Upper Falls (below, not visible).

Frijoles Upper Falls.

Continuing down to Lower Falls.


Lower Falls, but the trail is totally washed out on the left.

Lower Friojles Falls.
