DAY FOUR: A Tour of Our Ancient Treasures

Enjoy a big breakfast and order a picnic lunch at a local deli because there are no food services available on today’s trip. Drive east on I-40 to Walnut Canyon National Monument for a strenuous, one-mile walk with close-up views of cliff dwellings.

On leaving, backtrack toward town and go north on Highway 89 to Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, the result of an eruption about 1064 AD. Its Lava Flow Trail is a worthwhile one-mile walk. Then follow Loop Road through incredible scenery into Wupatki National Monument, a great place for your picnic. Be sure to visit Wupatki, a large ancient pueblo, and a few others if you have time. Rejoin Highway 89 to drive back to Flagstaff.
