Cliff Palace - On a Park Service guided tour, our group of 15 volunteers viewed Cliff Palace first hand. Unlike most cliff dwellings which average less than 10 rooms, Cliff Palace has 150. The design of these dwellings are built to fit the available space. One key feature which makes these dwellings functional is the presence of natural water seeps, and it is these water seeps which over the millennium helped create the cliff caves through erosion.
