At one spot you can plainly see the footholds they carved in the rock face get them up the cliff - must have been really fun commuting several times a day carrying pots of water or baskets of corn, when a single slip would be it.
The light that time of year is wonderful. But snowstorms can occur anytime, and nights are surprisingly cold, so make sure that in your main vehicle you have extra food and water, and warm sleeping bags along if you're driving all the way there. That can spell the difference between having fun and death if you get stalled somewhere en route due to bad weather.
