Following the sunrise, depart the Great House on your own or join your guide for an interpreted hike with fascinating information about the importance this location is thought to have had for the people who lived here a thousand years ago. Bring a flashlight/headlamp as well as a light jacket and your camera if you’d like. The hike up to the Great House occurs in the half-light and coolness of pre-dawn. The ¼-mile trail is rough, steep and rocky in places, and has sheer drop-offs alongside, so we encourage you to pack your equipment on your back.
