For a change of pace from Flagstaff’s pine forests, head north to the high-desert landscapes of Wupatki National Monument. This area is home to ancient Puebloan dwellings that are remarkably well-preserved (some are nearly 900 years old). Day trips offer an efficient way to make the 30-mile (48-kilometer) journey and often include visits to other sites, including Grand Canyon National Park. Join a guided excursion to connect the dots between the red-rock ruins and the nearby volcanic cinder cones of Sunset Crater. Expert guides provide the historical context that signs simply can’t, turning a pile of stones into a vivid story of ancient desert life.
