We decided to make this a side trip on the way back toTucson. It was an excellent choice. The sites were great, especially the large pueblo ruin. The museum had interesting information about the people who had lived here. And that we could combine this with Sunset National Crater Monument was perfect. .

There are four pueblo ruins to walk around. The largest has a self-guided tour. The hiking trails around the pueblos are relatively easy. It can be quite hot so you do need a hat and water. It is a very interesting site and is located a short distance from Flagstaff. We visited traveling from the Grand Canyon to Flagstaff as... More

I loved this area!!! Antelope praire is where these ruins are located. So beautiful and pretty remote. There have hardly been any other visitor during our visits there. The ruins are spectacular and you can sense the past.

This National Monument is only about a half-hour drive from Flagstaff. We stopped there on our way to Page, AZ. Once you take the turn onto the private road leading to the ruins, it's about another half-hour drive. We stopped along the way at the Pueblo Citadel ruins, and walked to the top. The view from up there is wonderful,... More

This is a very interesting and well restored pueblo. Worth the side trip from Flagstaff or a stoping the way to the Grand Canyon.

My wife and I recently visited Flagstaff and took a drive to the Wupatki National Monument. It's not far from downtown Flagstaff, but you feel as if you are visiting a different world and time. We started from the northern end of the loop off route 89. You can stop at several trails before reaching the visitor center and "main"... More

This partial re-built pueblo village is very interesting. I had seen some cliff dwellings, but not the larger communities built on the canyon floor. Learned a lot about their lives.

This excellent National Monument is worth a visit. Start at the Visitor Center and tour the 0.5 mile loop trail of the Wupatki Pueblo. The easy trail has 19 numbered stops which take about 45 minutes to complete. Also do not miss Wukoki Pueblo about 2 miles from the Visitor Center.
