I was thrilled to learn this place had extended their schedule this year due to the pandemic. (They're usually closed for the season when we travel to Colorado each Fall.) The volunteers were so helpful and full of information when I paid the $12 to enter the park. You can choose to hike from the bottom or drive to the top (via a gravel, unpaved road) for a shorter hike. Either way, you'll encounter wonderful views along the way.nThe weather was perfect on the day of my hike. It was warm, windy and dry at the top, and I was happy I had brought extra water. The final portion of the ascent to the ruins is narrow, so be sure to give uphill hikers the right of way. I was lucky to encounter a volunteer at the top who shared the history and interesting details of the area. There's a sign welcoming you to the top indicating the elevation (7620 ft) and creating a perfect photo op for reaching it.

Did not allow dogs and was really expensive for a little trail

A $12 donation is worth it for the views getting the top. Happy to donate to the cause. Fairly easy hike on an unpaved trail to the top that is mostly gravel and dirt with a few steep spots. Lower trail is paved and wheelchair accessible. Plan on spending 2 hours and bring water. Staff was informative and friendly. The gravel road in is fairly well maintained but the parking lot is small and can't accommodate oversized vehicles at the top. A cool step back in time. You can see New Mexico from here.

Pretty amazing views of the terrain and the structure at the top. I arrived with very little time to drive to the top parking area and hike to top of the rock. It was still totally worth the hoof to the top. Take plenty of water. Realize that you are into 8000 feet and plan accordingly as breathing will be obvious as you climb. Be respectful of the ruins and don’t stray from the trail unless you’d prefer to tumble to your death off the cliff.

We really enjoyed CRNM. Great ruins,info from the volunteers, and Chimney Rock itself is quite the formation. **Warning** if you're from Texas there is a hike with a MASSIVE ud83eudd23 200' elevation change from the parking lot to the Great house, because it's on a mountain ya know!?!?! Chances are you will actually have to breath a bit harder than if the land was flat...but just a bit is all ud83eudd23
