It was so good in the late 80s and early 90s. You could go on tours of the cliff dwellings and climb giant ladders and walk into the ruins. Now you can only look from afar.

    I know they shut down the tours in 2020 due to COVID but looking at the national parks page, they're back (though have concluded for the 2023 season)

    You can tour some of the ruins if you pay recreation.gov for tickets (which I think is ridiculous to pay a fee to a private corporation to access public sites). The ruin that was open for self tours (Spruce Tree House) has been closed for years due to unstable rock.
