NATIONAL PARK

Wupatki National Monument

The largest and one of the most impressive sites is Wupatki, or “Long-cut House,” containing more than 100 rooms. Nearby are a ceremonial amphitheater, ball court and “blow hole.” Other important ruins are the Citadel, Nalakihu, Lomaki and the three-story Wukoki, all reachable by short, self-guiding trails. Most of the ruins were inhabited from about 1100-1225. Picnicking is available. Visitors must stay on the trails; the backcountry is closed to unguided travel in order to protect the cultural resources.

Allow 1 hour minimum. Visitor center open daily 9-5; closed Christmas. Ruins and trails open daily dawn-dusk. Admission $25 (per private vehicle); $20 (per motorcycle); $15 (per person arriving by foot or bicycle); free ages 0-15. Admission includes Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument.
