Wupatki National Monument – Arizona

Images of Wupatki National Monument – Northern Arizona, taken in April 2018.

Wupatki National Monument, just north of Flagstaff, protects 900 year old dwellings built on the plains northeast of the San Francisco Range. These dwellings were erected on and around sandstone ledges and for that reason reminded me of the ruins at Hovenweep National Monument in Utah.

Over 2000 archeological sites have been documented in the park with four primary ruins that are easily accessible, well preserved and very impressive. In particular the ruin at Wukoki Pueblo (middle of the forth row) was particularly interesting. It is constructed on a sandstone outcropping that rises up from the desert floor and from a distance looks like a ship run aground.
