ADA Accessible Wheelchairs can use the trail; however, wheelchairs will need assistance due to occasional rough and steep sections of the trail.

Family Friendly Short, mostly smooth path makes this family and stroller friendly.

Need to Know

Description

The loop begins at the trailhead for Casa Rinconada, South Mesa, and Kin Kletzin. Take the right trail to the Great Kiva at Casa Rinconada (just before the kiva, a path cuts across the desert to bypass one of the villages).

Pass the trail junction for Kin Kletzin and continue to the southernmost village. The trail continues to loop around two more villages before returning to the parking area.
