We are older people and have physical limitations. What can we see on an easy walking tour of the park?

Most of the park other than the hiking trails is very easy to get to. So you could easily get to most of the main parts and get some great photos

The park is rather large, with a few long hiking trails that are pretty rigorous. Not something I'd try with physical limitations. On the driving route, there are several stops where you can see both the cliff dwellings and mesa home sites, all of which have wheelchair access and should be fairly easy to get to even with physical limitations. Even without being able to go on the trails, the park visit is worth the price. The things they built before Europeans came here are incredible. Hope this helped.

WHat is altitude?

Scott's response is perfect. I would add that there are some free daily ranger talks often given in locations you could access, although I'm not sure how far out they post that schedule. The drive through the park on its own is stunning & worth the trip.

For sure. You can drive right up and its only a couple hundred feet from the area where you park to the center of 4 corners. Youll definitely be good.

The park is beautiful and worth going. You can see most all of the cliff houses with a short walk and the views are breathtaking! However, if you want to get closer the trails can become long and tiresome. The facilities are clean and easy to get to. If you love history then I highly recommend going!!

If you want to see the houses, there is a lot of stairs involved FYI.

Is the park so busy with vehicles and people that it makes the trip more frustrating than enjoyable? (Like Arches Nat'l Park)
