    Description

    The one-hour Balcony House tour is one of the most intimate yet adventurous tours at Mesa Verde National Park. A visit to Balcony House will challenge your fear of ladders, heights, and small spaces, and will give you the opportunity to explore the common areas of a mid-sized, 40-room dwelling.

    The Balcony House tour requires visitors to descend a 100 foot staircase into the canyon; climb a 32 foot ladder; crawl through a 12 foot, 18 inches wide tunnel; and clamber up an additional 60 feet on ladders and stone steps.

    Once you purchase your tickets at the Mesa Verde National Park Visitor Center, drive to the Balcony House parking lot, and meet the ranger at the benches under the shade ramada for your scheduled tour.

    Please Note: The Balcony House tour is strenuous due to the elevation and physical exertion required to visit the dwelling. The tour is not recommended for anyone with heart or respiratory problems. Balcony House, like all of the cliff dwellings, is located at approximately 7,000 feet elevation and involves strenuous physical activity.
