The Long House Trail is a short paved trail to the overlook of Long House, the second largest cliff dweller ruin in Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado. It is reached only by the tram that services the Wetherill Mesa Area.
Long House is one of the three sites in Mesa Verde that is visited only by guided tours. The site has about 150 rooms and 21 kivas and a large central plaza.
This site was discovered by the Wetherill brothers during the winter of 1889-90 but was essentially unexcavated by the early visitors and was not fully excavated until 1958-61.
The site sits at the head of a large deep canyon and has a seep spring at the back of the site.
