The Wetherill Mesa road will close for the season on October 23, so this Saturday, the 22nd is the last day to enjoy Step House!
No tickets or reservations are required to visit this small, intimate home. Self guide through this site by walking the trail that begins at the information kiosk on Wetherill Mesa. Visitors descend 100 feet along a winding 1/2 mile trail into Step House where they'll find a ranger ready to help answer questions and provide information. There is also a wonderful self-guiding booklet published by Mesa Verde Association available for a small donation. Of course, visitors will then ascend that same steep 1/2 mile trail to return to the information kiosk
Hours for Step House are 9:00am - 3:45pm with last entry on trail at 3:30.
