Wupatki National Monument

It is awesome to walk inside the 11,000 year-old pueblo structures at Wupatki National Monument. We first toured the Wukoki Pueblo and we were surprised to be the only ones there. It was very spiritual to be on such sacred ground … on a Saturday … and to be the only humans around. Then we visited the Wupatki Pueblo at the Vistor’s Center and I secured my stamp. Next we hiked up the Citadel Pueblo and were greeted by only two other nature lovers on the trail. And lastly, we were down to the Lomaki Pueblo and took in the view from a distance. How fortunate are we that these structures were preserved and can teach us so much about the ancient civilizations that inhabited this land.
