The guided hike is free, but advance signup is required. Children should be age 7 or older to join the hike.

Participants will meet at the Chapin Mesa Archaeological Museum, and then take part in a guided walk of about .75 mile. Hikers should be prepared for a 2–3 hour walk, and should bring extra layers of clothing and water. There is a limit of 20 people.
