Wupatki National Monument preserves some impressive and thought-provoking pueblos built around and with existing rock and expanded to dwellings, with one of the pueblos comprised of 100 rooms!
One can choose from a number of trails, and there are guided tours as well! If you are hiking on your own, you can pick up a printed guide at the Visitor Center. This printed guide will lead you through the numbered areas of the site and reveal the details of the buildings and the construction.

The attention to detail, the structural integrity and the history of this site are just amazing! This site was a trade hub and a community. Sinagua, Cohonina, Hohokam and Kayenta tribes cultivated cotton, corn, beans and squash and raised families here.
There are many opportunities for hiking. We took these pictures on the hike that begins at the Visitor Center. The hike is not challenging and there are well-marked trails and markers that lead you through the area.
There is NO shade here. Bring plenty of water, comfortable, sturdy shoes and sunscreen.
