To take one of two tour with a ranger you need to purchase tickets. They are $5 per person. But must of them can be seen by driving the park and pulling over at the over looks. The one shot I have of Cliff Palace was taken across the canyon from it. Balcony House has a bit more walking to get to so I couldn't answer on it. My husband has a very bad back so we saw most by car and pulling over to take pictures of everything
We went on our own tour. There are little books about each section $1.00 a piece that tells about them. Some you can see from the car. Most have nice trails that are wheelchair accessible. A couple of them are below you and you can't see anything without climbing the ladders to the site below.. well worth the trip. It will be exhausting because of the altitude so you might being hellp to push the wheelchair ;) have fun !!
You meet at the site for the tour, so you can self drive to the site. You can see every building from a distance.
Early reservations best for specific tours. We arrived late in the day and still did the short walk to see cliff house.
Yes, you can see the cliff house from a distance without the tour
You can buy tour tickets at the visitor center or you can drive the loop and look at all the sites. You can see them all pretty well but I recommend binoculars! It's a lot of fun!
You will need to buy your tickets at the visitor's center, then you can drive yourself to the tour.
