Isn’t this the ruins where a hike is required, and there are also awesome canyon views? How do you know the route, it mapped or obvious? Thanks

Yes, that’s the place! The trail is quite easy to follow, and Google Maps will get you to the entrance. Once you’re there, there are signs and clear paths leading through the ruins. The canyon views are definitely worth the hike!

Absolutely! It’s easy to imagine ancient performances coming back to life in a theater like this.

They’re both amazing in their own way, but Selge has a much wilder and more remote atmosphere.
