Here is the right side of the Gila Cliff Dwellings. The entire group of dwellings is visible from the ridge across from the site. However, none of this site is visible from the top of this ridgeline. It is amazing that this series of 46 rooms in the five caves along this cliff side are completely hidden.

I wish it were possible for me to capture a single panoramic image of the whole cliff side. It might be possible to capture such an image from the opposite ridge, but I did not have time to actually hike up there.
