I watched this video several times to make sure this tour was doable for me. I’m not young, thin or very fit. I decided to give this a try anyway. Two weeks prior to the tour, I began to work out by biking and hill climbing. The pace of the tour was very slow, so it didn’t seem strenuous at all. The only challenge was the ladders. I would make sure your thighs are fit enough to climb four 8-10 foot ladders. I am afraid of heights but never felt unsafe. The stairs are definitely steep, but there are hand holds. Our guide warned us to think carefully about our fitness level. I was a little unsure, but I’m so glad I went. Thanks for the tips.
Hiking has it's challenges, in particular at altitude. Enjoyable, but can be a lot of work and effort. Always, take care and don't push it. Not sure I would even try so congrats! Take care.
Allow an hour from the visitor center to get to the cliff dwellings. Also make sure you take a screen shot of your timed pass before you leave good wifi. Have fun!

How long does it take to get to cliff Palace from the entrance? I’d like to book a morning tour but want to ensure we have enough drive time
