How to Get to Step House

Access Step House via a 12-mile winding road (note: vehicles must be under 25 feet and 8,000 lbs.) Rangers are available on-site between 9:00 am and 3:45 pm to answer questions. You can explore Step House before or after a Long House tour, and we recommend setting aside 3–4 hours to fully enjoy the quiet beauty and archaeological richness of Wetherill Mesa.
