Wupatki National Monument; A place of wonder!

Driving through Sunset crater and passing through the pine trees, you will be in amazement how the landscape switches from Pine to crossing into the painted desert! What an exciting transformation it is!

There are 13 different Native American tribes claiming blood or history to Wupatki

When Sunset crater erupted in 1064-1065 C.E it altered life out in the painted…

It was the middle of winter in Arizona, which meant it was enjoyable outside.  The winter is the time of the year to explore the great outdoors when living in Arizona.  One would think you would explore Phoenix in the nice cool weather, but instead I wanted to explore Flagstaff where it gets cold and snows.

I have done all the National Park units in the Flagstaff area, but I wanted to go to two of the units again.  I decided on Wupatki National Monument and Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument.  I love the two parks and they are connected to each other.

Wupatki National Monument sits on the edge of the Navajo Nation. The area is dear to my heart, and I love looking at the desert!  Wupatki is a National Park unit, because of its pueblo ruins. The pueblos are breathtaking to see.  The rich red color pops out over the painted desert.  To many, it might not seem like much.  Without knowing what it is, many might just see an abandoned old ruin from people of the past. However it is so much more. Wupatki stands proudly to the test of time.  It was the tallest and largest pueblo at one time in its history.  Many people lived there and around it, so it was never abandoned.  Humans have been in the area for over 10,000 years, while cultures grew and spread.  Around the 1100s the civilization became dispersed thanks to Sunset Crater Volcano.  Once the eruption occurred the people farmed the soil, and the pueblos became a lifestyle of the past.  Even though people were not living in the pueblos, it did not mean the people left the area completely.  Wupatki was never abandoned!  People still live in the area, and people visit often.  The ancestors of the Wupatki people still live here.  When I visit the monument I imagine what it looked like in its hay-day, and I imagine the people who called Wupatki their home.  Wupatki is a magical place to visit.  Step back in time and see a life that was lived fully and richly.

Down the road from Wupatki is Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. Sunset Crater Volcano is very different from Wupatki, but they are related.  Sunset Crater Volcano is a volcano, specifically a cinder cone volcano.  It is the youngest volcano in the area even though its last eruption was about 942 years ago!  The volcano is related to the San Fransisco Peaks Volcano, and it can be seen from the park.  As I said before, Wupatki and Sunset Crater Volcano are related.  Wupatki was inhabited when Sunset Crater blew its top.  The people had to leave due to the ash and the lava flows.  After everything settled the people came back, because the ash helped with farming. The volcano help make the soil more fertile  The volcano changed the landscape.

While visiting I climbed through the lava flows, and barren landscape left by the eruption.  There was ice on the lava flows, which made it a tad bit slippery.  It was amazing to walk on what use to be lava.  Lava destroyed the landscape and over 900 years later, the landscape is still trying to grow back.  I find this fact amazing, because I would have assumed that nature would have healed itself in 900 years.  Sunset Crater Volcano shows the wildness of nature.  Nature is unpredictable and can be destructive, but yet that is what makes it beautiful.  I love Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument for this reason.

I spent a Saturday exploring both parks, and capturing many memories.  I walked around the pueblo, and watch a rainstorm over the desert.  I walked the lava flows, and took in the scenery.  It was an absolutely fantastic day!

Sunset Crater, Arizona

Climbing to the rim has been closed for decades. Hikers were doing too much damage.

I did the partly wheelchair accessible 1-mile (1.6km) trail Lava Flow Trail and some of the 1-mile (1.6km) Lenox Crater Trail. Both were snowy.

But if you are passing anywhere close to Flagstaff, Arizona, any time of the year. I recommend you make this stop. The Visitor Center is excellent.

The date of the eruptions that formed the 340-meter-high cone (1,120 ft) was initially derived from tree-ring dates, suggesting the eruption began between the growing seasons of A.D. 1064–1065. However, more recent geologic and archaeological evidence places the eruption around A.D. 1085. …

On the same road trip visit nearby Wupatki National Monument.

Wupatki Pueblo

If you book in advance, Rangers offer guided hikes from October through April. Anywhere from two hours to two days.
