The Wupatki National Monument is located in north-central Arizona, near Flagstaff. A culturally rich in Native American archaeological site, the monument is administered by the National Park Service in close conjunction with the nearby Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. Wupatki Pueblos are located on top of an underlying stratum known as the Tsegi Formation which contains layers of basaltic lava flows interbedded with ash and tuff deposits from explosive eruptions that formed Sunset Crater Volcano and other cinder cones along this north-south trending lineament (chain of vents). Visitors can take the Loop Road north to south and stop at each pueblo.
There is a $25.00 (2022) fee per vehicle. This covers entry to both Wupatki and Sunset Crater Volcano National Monuments. You could take this trip for the drive alone. This is a wonderful day trip for kids and adults!
