    Tips

    Hiking

    Step House is free to visit and can be accessed from the trailhead by the Wetherill Mesa kiosk. The trail is open between spring and fall and you should allow around three quarters of an hour to do the site justice.

    Among the ancient dwellings at Mesa Verde, Step House is unique in that there is evidence of two separate occupations. It is thought that the site was occupied some six hundred years before the famous cliff dwellings were built.
