Accessible campsite at the Upper Scorpion Campground.

For thousands of years, groups of nomads used the caves above Cliff Dweller
Creek as temporary shelter. In the late 1200s, people of the agricultural
Mogollon (Southern Ancestral Pueblo) culture made it a home. They built rooms,
crafted pottery and raised children in the cliff dwellings for one or two
generations. By approximately 1300, the Mogollon had moved on, leaving the
walls behind.
