After browsing the exhibit at the visitor center, I walkt the main loop (starting at the visitor center) that leads to Tyuonyi, an ancient village on the floor of Frijoles Canyon and further on to the cave dwellings.

If you wish to do more hiking, you'll find about 70 miles (112 km) of trails in within the monument's boundaries.
