There are three cliff dwellings that can only be seen on a ranger-guided tour: Cliff Palace, Balcony House, and Long House. The tours take about an hour each and cost $2.75 a person. The hours for the tours vary depending on season, but during the spring and summer, they are generally from 8am to dusk. Balcony House and Cliff Palace both require climbing a few long ladders to get in and out. Balcony House is considered the must adventurous of the tours. Long House is outside of the main park area down a long and winding road. Schedules and more exact information can be found at the official website http://www.nps.gov/meve/home.htm.
I highly recommend going on the tours. The rangers know a great deal about the history and archaeology of the area, and those three sites are quite spectacular and can only be seen up close by going on the tours.
