Wupatki National Monument

Step into Southwest cultures of the past

Arizona DestinationsLatest Deals

Wupatki National Monument

Rich cultures of the past once thrived in this seemingly inhospitable climate.


Just a short drive Northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona lies a rugged land atop the vast Colorado Plateau. Here you can find what remains of an ancient Puebloan people.  Wupatki National Monument protects numerous ancient dwellings of peoples who have long since moved on. Perhaps the main highlight of the Wupatki National Monument is the self-guided tour of the Wupatki Pueblo. As the largest dwelling in the region, it provides a great example of what life might have been like for someone living in such a village.

Be sure to check out the visitor center before you head out on your self-guided tour…and don’t miss out on the blowhole and ball court not too far from the main pueblo structure.

Wupatki National Monument houses several other archeological sites which include: Lomaki Pueblo, Citadel and Nalakihu pueblos, and Wukoki Pueblo. Be sure to spend some time enjoying the nuances of these unique structures.  And, as always, visit with care to ensure future visitors are able to equally enjoy these fragile resources.

Hoover Dam

Takes a big dam structure to hold back the largest reservoir in the United States


It all started with a conversation. “Would you rather…use 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete to (1) pave a 16-foot-wide highway from San Fransisco to New York City, or (2) build the largest concrete sturcture in the world to create the biggest reservoir in the United States of America? Well, pull out your swimming trunks boys cause we’re building a dam. Okay, the story might be (read: is definitely) fake, but the stats are the real deal. The Hoover Dam holds back the water supply for nearly 20 million people across the states of Nevada, California, and Arizona. Additionally, with its 759 miles of shoreline, Lake Mead provides recreation opportunities to countless more individuals from a much wider swath of humanity.

Antelope Canyon

A Spectacle of Sandstone and Sunshine


Erosion. Sometimes erosion gets a bad wrap for washing things away and evoking connotations of destruction. Well, we say thank goodness for this glorious power of water…and time. Antelope Canyon is yet another scenic gem of the American Southwest and lies just east of Page, Arizona on Navajo Nation land. Since 1997 Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons can only be accessed with a tour guide as they have received the designation as a Navajo Tribal Park. For photographers and sightseers alike, these canyons are well worth the tour.  Experience first-hand the beautiful synergy of sandstone slot canyons and sunlight.

Upper Antelope Canyon (The Crack): The more accessible of the two canyons, Upper Antelope Canyon is all on ground level and doesn’t require stairs or scrambling over rocks. Upper Antelope Canyon also offers more opportunities for those spectacular light beams due to a greater abundance of opening in the top of the canyon. If you are looking to get those iconic light beams entering the slot canyon, your chances are best if you go during midday between late March and early October.

Lower Antelope Canyon (The Corkscrew): Lower Antelope Canyon was only accessible via a series of ladders earlier in its history. Today tours can get into Lower on metal stairways. On the plus side, being the less-accessible of the canyons, Lower does keep the crowds away. For the photographers out there, lighting is typically better in the mornings due to the V-shaped slope, and shallower nature, of Lower Antelope Canyon.

Weather Warning: Slot canyons inherently come with some amount of risk.  Flash floods, for instance.  This is one of the reasons a tour guide is required for both of these canyons. Pay close attention to the weather during your Antelope Canyon visit. No sense in being swept away with the same sands that left such a marvel in their wake.

Salt River Tubing: Yup, nothing as attractive as water in the desert. Floating the Salt River has become a bit of a floating party with a variety of events scheduled each year that range from Mardi Gras Magic to Pirates on the Salt River.

Rockin’ R Ranch: Bring the old west back to life in this 1880s replica of an old west town. Everything you need to travel back in time to the days of the gun toating sheriffs and real live outlaws. With live music, an opportunity to pan for gold, and even a reenactment of an old west gunfight. Oh yeah, did I mention an all-you-can eat BBQ?

Horseshoe Bend

Yep, the river just decided to turn around


The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Well, Mother Nature was not interested in the shortest distance. Scattered throughout the American Southwest are a number of spots where these adolescent, free-thinking rivers chose a different path and literally did a 180. 

Wupatki National Monument

Slide Rock State Park

One of the most iconic episodes of this occurred on the Colorado River just 5 miles downstream of the Glen Canyon Dam. Now presenting, Horseshoe Bend Arizona. Just a quick drive to the outskirts of Page, AZ resides one of those Instagram-wothy memories that made you jealous of that ‘one friend.’ With such easy access to this landscape photography icon, take a few moments to bask in an amazing sunset, snap a few quick photos, and be that friend this time around. There are plenty of things to do around Page, but a sunset at Horseshoe Bend should definitely make your list.

Forget the seven wonders of the world and explore TWENTY FOUR wonders of Arizona!


Jan thinks it’s hard being a Brady? Try being a national monument in Arizona for a few minutes and she will have her attitude adjusted in a jiffy.

The Grand Canyon & Marcia may be the grooviest looking girl in the whole school, (*whining* Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon!) …but it’s far from Arizona’s only natural wonder! From red cliffs cut through by blue ribbons of water, to towering rock formations that defy belief, to a massive living cave beneath your feet, Arizona is full of incredible monuments worthy of your visit.

Arizona National Parks

Come for the Grand Canyon, stay for all three national parks.


The Grand Canyon may get most of the attention (heck maybe even all of it) but don’t let the echo chamber of the internet steal your travel plans. Arizona has 3 national parks that will knock your hiking socks off, and for good reason. Don’t you dare miss out on the rest of the family.

Marcia Brady The Grand Canyon is the eldest of the three Brady girls Arizona National Parks and like her brother Greg,Saguaro, Marcia Brady The Grand Canyon is a bit of an overachiever. She is very popular with everyone at school because she’s gorgeous, smart, and everything she does is interesting. MarciaThe Grand Canyon, is what every girl National Park dreams of being: confident, beautiful and noble. She is very interested in politics and has a high concern about herself and her appearance.
–Source: Wikipedia…sort of.

Saguaro: (Greg Brady) Been yearning to see towering, giant saguaros in their native environment? Saguaro National Park preserves a giant saguaro cactus forest that stretches across the valley floor near Tucson. Unique to the Sonoran Desert, the park’s giant saguaros sometimes reach as high as 50 and can live longer than 200 years. It’s no wonder they’ve been described as the kings of the Sonoran Desert.

Petrified National Forrest: (Jan Brady) Experience one of the world’s largest and most vibrantly colored assemblies of petrified wood, historic structures, and archaeological sites at Petrified Forest National Park. 200-million-year-old fossils tell the tale of the prehistoric earth and its inhabitants in Arizona’s Painted Desert.

The Grand Canyon: (Marcia Brady) Vast, magnificent and inarguably beautiful, the Grand Canyon is easily Arizona’s most distinguishable landmark—a natural wonder you must see to believe. Stretching 277 miles from end to end, its rocky walls descend more than a mile to the canyon’s floor, where the wild Colorado River traces a swift course southwest.

Visit Flagstaff

Located in the high country mountains of northern Arizona, Flagstaff’s four seasons are enviable by many.


Summer temperatures average in the low 80s with blue skies and crisp mountain air, while winter adventures await in Arizona’s officially designated winter wonderland with an average of 108″ of snowfall downtown.

Quaking aspen and foliage offer hues of reds and purples in the fall, while spring offers the breathtaking beauty of blooms in the world’s largest contiguous emerald green ponderosa pine forest.

When you think of Arizona, images of the desert, red rock, and cacti probably come to mind. What you may not know is that Flagstaff is quite the opposite. Surrounded by ski hills, volcanoes, and pine trees, you wouldn’t know that Arizona’s desert regions are only a short drive away.

About 6,900 feet in elevation, Flagstaff’s cool climate is a welcome change of pace if you’re looking to get out of the desert and its sweltering heat. Snow-covered during much of the winter, the Flagstaff area is replete with fun activities (even skiing!) unavailable in most of Arizona.

A great place to explore the outdoors at any time of the year, Flagstaff has a lot to offer. Whether it be hiking, biking, skiing, exploring Native American sites or perusing local museums, Flagstaff is a prized gem among Arizona’s regions.

Camelback Mountain

Two difficult trails ascend 1,420 feet to a summit resembling the hump of a camel’s back, affording 360-degree views of the surrounding city.

Located just 20 minutes from downtown Phoenix, Camelback Mountain is a Phoenix icon and popular outdoor destination for thousands of visiting hikers each year. Phoenix’s desert preserves, including Camelback Mountain, are home to native species such as the desert tortoise, chuckwalla lizard, cottontail rabbits, and rattlesnakes (hike with caution). Plant species include the saguaro, cholla and prickly pear cacti, as well as native trees such as mesquite and palo verde.
