There are 2 ways to get to this pueblo. One is to hike the 6.5 miles from Sand Canyon Trailhead on Road G. The other is to drive out to Road N. You'll discover a very different climate at this end of the trail.

Sand Canyon is a great area for those looking for a day hike, sight seeing, dirt biking, 4 wheeling, or side by siding. There's trail for everyone. Here you can find ruins, creeks, and unbelievable views.

Sand Canyon is a wide, two-level drainage, with a deep and narrow inner gorge through Navajo sandstone, bordered by bushy, sandy benches of the Carmel Formation, below outer cliffs of light-colored Entrada sandstone, in which are found many large alcoves, at least seven occupied by ancient Ancestral Puebloan ruins. Both canyons are north-side tributaries of McElmo Creek, along the southern edge of Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, and may be explored by maintained trails starting from a parking area along (paved) Road G; a relatively popular location, publicized by the BLM as one of the best places in the state to view unrestored ruins in a backcountry setting. Sand Canyon has ruins on both sides but those to the west are more numerous and much more easily accessed, from the mostly level trail that follows the bench below the upper-level cliffs, and reaches the northernmost ancient site after 3.5 miles, then later climbs steeply to a higher elevation plateau and follows its rim to another road, site of the Sand Canyon Pueblo, once a village of over 400 rooms, now a collection of low walls and overgrown stone piles. As this can be viewed via a short walk from the road, the northern part of the Sand Canyon Trail is not much used since all the other interesting sites, the alcove ruins, are concentrated towards the south end.
