The monument features a visitor center, two short self-guided mesa top trails, two small campgrounds, and picnic area. In the summer, rangers guide visitors on tours of the Keet Seel and Betatakin cliff dwellings. Tours are usually available during the winter, spring, and fall months as well. Please call! 928-672-2700

The visitor center features museum exhibits about ancestral puebloan people (Hisatsinom), modern Navajo culture, and a 20-minute movie about the Betatakin cliff dwelling. Traditional demonstators show their crafts (rug and basket weaving, silversmithing, painting) during the summer months. Behind the visitor center, two short trails take visitors to an overlook of the Betatakin (called Talastima by Hopi) cliff dwelling, and an overlook of a relict forest left over from the Ice Age. Signs along the trails identify native plants and how the Hopi and Navajos have traditionally used them. Betatakin guided hikes are available most days; call to make arrangements (928)672-2700. It is a three- to four-hour, five-mile ranger-guided tour. No fees are charged. Hikers should bring drinking water and be prepared for a strenuous trek. Tours to Keet Seel, a 17-mile hike, are available. Call to find out more about this fine hike (928-672-2700). The monument is surrounded by Navajo Nation land, which is essentially private property. The campground is free and is open year-round.
