Walnut Canyon National Monument, Flagstaff

This place is so interesting to visit. Can't imagine how people lived in these dwellings in the past. Wonder how they cultivate food and water. We visited the mile hike in July and it was not bad at all. It was quite windy so it didn't feel that hot. We were able to seat inside some part of the dwellings and felt quite cool with the surrounding stone walls. We had to travel down to the visit the dwellings and hiking back up can be a bit treacherous.

Greatly preserved native American dwellings and beautiful scenery made this worth the 240 steps. There was a nice paved path around the island walk. The visitor's center was informative. Bring water on a hot day! There was also a picnic area near the parking lot, which was nice.

It's hard to believe that over 300 years ago Native Indian families lived in homes carved into the rocks. Walnut Canyon is possibly the best example of cave living in the USA and it's been beautifully preserved. You need to descend 285 steps and walk a 1.8 mike trail to get the whole experience. There is no disabled access to this part of the national park, however there is a cliff top walk which allows views. Amazing insight into the life of the custodians of this land.

Interesting place. There is very little parking and the Ranger at first wanted to turn us away in our Motorhome. We went on the hike and it's not that bad at all. If you're out of shape you may have problems on the stairs. We saw a few people on our way down that were still on their way up when we went up. . if that makes any sense.

We loved this place. So beautiful. Our grandson was enthralled. We took the long walk out and back. It was nice
