Wupatki Pueblo Indian Ruins
Jul 17, 2013 12:09:53 #
Just north of Flagstaff, AZ are these amazing Pueblo ruins of an ancient civilization. We visited this site for the second time this past March and thought I'd share a few photos from that ttip.
Tomorrow I'll try and post some photos of Anasazi cliff ruins from southern Utah.

interesting, nice set, what tribe would these ruins be from?
Probably what we would now know as Hopi/Navaho indian tribes.

I visited the Sedona/Flagstaff area last year - took almost 2000 pictures in a 7 day visit - and I think I got to all but one of the ruins in that area. Wupatki is amazing, isn't it? I took a shot of one of the walls showing the different stones and how they were stacked ... very interesting.
The trip also started me on a quest to learn more about the Sinagua peoples who, from what we can tell, were the contemporaries of the Anasazi in New Mexico and probably the ancestors of the Hopi and Navaho peoples. Very fascinating story enhanced by having been to and seen the various ruins.
Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

They are Anazazi Ruins. {Sp} I lived in Flag 40 years and these are excellent photos. A great place to visit and to study some ancient history.

Glad you will get a chance to visit Wupatki. As you are traveling south from the Grand Cyn. on Hwy, 89,it is about 40 miles or so as you head towards Flagstaff. It is right before you head up the steep mountain to Flagstaff and there are signs for Wupatki as you approach...you will make a left turn (going east). There are several ruin sights as you go east before you get to the main ruin and visitor center. In fact, as you make your turn on the road to Wupatki, there is a large Visitor Kiosk that also has maps for the taking. All the sights are worth visiting...you are going enjoy this area and I believe there is primitive camping available.

Thanks again for all the positive comments...I enjoyed posting these photos and have many of other Wupatki ruins in the area that I will try and post next week.
Additionally, I have some from one of the most beautiful of all cliff dwelling sites...Canyon de Chelly (prononuced de Shay) from a few years ago. Have to get them out of the vault and post them too.
PS - I included pix of the interruptive signs as they explain the history better than my attempt.

This is amazing. The estimated number of un-excavated ruins in Wupatki NM is 1000 to 3000.

If you started out in your 20's and did a different place in Arizona every weekend you would still be seeing places in your 70's. There are so many places here to see.
