Our rating: We liked the short hike to the viewpoint. As everywhere in the southwest, there is always something to discover along the way. The ruins here are really impressive and beautifully situated. If you walk a little towards the ruins on the rim, you can also discover a beautiful arch. If you know where to look, you can also see the arch from the viewpoint. We think that a detour here is definitely worthwhile.
