    This is more than likely one of the most incredible bike rides you can get in the US. This 6-mile (10 km) road section takes you through 700 years of ancestral Pueblo history. You will see the remains of early pithouses, masonry villages, and multi-story cliff dwellings. There are twelve easily accessible paved trails to view twelve archeological sites on the loop, and you will have a viewpoint to see the incredible cliff palace. The highlights include the Square Tower House Overlook and views of Cliff Palace from Sun Point View and Sun Temple. The Mesa Top Loop Road is open daily, from 8:00 a.m. to sunset.
