Why you should go…
Wupatki National Monument preserves ancestral Puebloan villages scattered across open grassland north of Flagstaff. From the visitor center, a trail leads to the largest of them, Wupatki Pueblo, with 104 rooms, a community room, a ball court and a blowhole where air rushes from an underground cave system. Other pueblos you can visit along the loop road include Wukoki, Lomaki and the Citadel. One entrance pass also covers Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument on the same 35-mile scenic loop.
