    Balcony House is an ancestral Puebloan cliff dwelling located in Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park. The spectacular ruin is smaller than the more well-known dwellings of Cliff Palace and Spruce Tree House but is a fascinating site for its mysterious and somewhat inaccessible cliff setting. Visiting the ruin requires climbing ladders and crawling through rock tunnels.
