Description

The Wupatki National Monument is part of a collective of Flagstaff Area National Monuments, including Sunset Crater Volcano and Walnut Canyon. The nature and culture preserve allows travelers to hike through the park's red rocks and learn about the day-to-day lives of the people who once called Wupatki home. Visitors can stop by the visitor center to pick up information on the park and the ancient peoples before heading out on a walking tour, and they are also reminded to bring plenty of water during the visit. Open daily from sunrise to sunset, the park offers a variety of guided hikes from October through April, which range from moderate to very strenuous that can last anywhere from two hours to two days. Guided hikes provide the only public access to many areas of the monument, as these areas are home to a rich cultural and biological landscape. With this, reservations for hiking slots are required and hikers must follow the strict Leave No Trace principles.
