Did you know that you can visit three National Monuments in one day all within 30 minutes of Flagstaff? Each of these monuments is unique and amazing in its on way: Wupatki and Walnut Canyon are dwellings that tell a story of ancient people that lived near present day Flagstaff and Sunset Crater is the youngest in a string of volcanoes that is related to the nearby San Francisco Peaks. Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments are run in conjunction so one entry fee of $25 per vehicle gets you into both monuments. Have you had a chance to visit any one of these national monuments? Which one is your favorite? #visitarizona #arizonastate #flagstaff #flagstaffarizona #flagstaffaz #nationalmonument #nationalparks #arizonahiking #arizonalife #arizona🌵 #arizonaadventures

The Grand Canyon and Sedona are great, but did you know that Arizona has 18 National Monuments - more than any other state? National Monuments in Arizona range from historical sites to areas with interesting geological formations or geological history. Most of these sites are managed by the National Park Service and have a visitor center, restrooms, guided tours etc. Some of my favorites as listed in the reel are: ✨Montezuma Castle ✨Walnut Canyon ✨Sunset Crater Volcano ✨Wupatki Have you had a chance to explore any of these national monuments? #arizona #visitarizona #nationalmonument #explorearizona #arizonalife #explorearizona #arizonastate #nationalparks

Here’s why⬇️ We’ve loved every single National Monument we visited. They are all unique and interesting in their own way. But if we HAD to pick our top 5, these would be them. 🏔️Chiricahua ~ is known as a sky island. It rises 6,000 feet above the valley and it’s highest point is at 9,795 ft. As the elevation changes so does the surrounding ecosystems and weather. The monument is at a crossroads between 4 major ecosystems & 5 world biomes. There is 17 miles of hiking throughout the park. 🛻Canyon de Chelly ~ Not only is the canyon beautiful, but it is well preserved. The only way to explore the bottom is with a guided tour. With a tour you learn so much about the people that once called this canyon home and the people that stil do to this day 🌲Walnut Canyon ~ Stunning in so many ways and it left us wondering how and why. Why this canyon? How did they get to the cliff ledges? You can walk out to some dwellings but keep an eye out for others in the surrounding walls 🏺Wupatki ~ The massive pueblos and communities seemingly sit in the middle of nowhere, but the more you learn and think about life here nearly 1,000 years ago. Maybe it was different? Rivers and creeks had more water? Summer temperatures weren’t so bad? We left in awe! 🌵Organ Pipe Cactus ~ This is the only place in the U.S. that the Organ Pipe cactus grows naturally. It looks like they grow out of rocks, but really they use the heat stored in the rocks to survive winter nights. We were blown away by the desert beauty at the park with jagged mountains and plenty of trails If you made it this far what is your top 5? 🔝5️⃣ • • • • #visitarizona #arizona #nationalmonument #nationalparkgeek #nationalparks #optoutside #explorearizona #travelarizona
