You might not be able to get in any of the cliff dwellings, but you can see some of them from viewpoints along the loop roads. Very short walks to some of these viewpoints. In addition, there are some mesa top structures that are also right off the road, maybe 100'-200' of walking. These are worth visiting, and while not as imposing as the cliff dwellings themselves, nonetheless give an interesting perspective as to the difficulty of life back in the day. The visitors center is definitely worth a stop also. It is relatively new and quite informative. They do have a cd you can buy that has 360 degree views of some of the cliff dwellings, including those in other parks and monuments. Maybe you can get there virtually!
