Precariously perched on a remote cliff in Soda Canyon, Hemenway House looks like it's ready to fall off the small ledge on which it rests on the other side of the valley. Built in the 1200s, this cliff dwelling has 26 rooms and one kiva and was part of the larger Balcony House community. Hemenway House was named after Mary Tileston Hemenway, who funded the first scientific archeological expedition in the southwest. This is a beautiful vantage point with grand views up and down Soda Canyon.
