Wupatki National Monument covers 56 square miles of rugged land 38 miles north east of Flagstaff. It protects a number of ancient ruins of puebloan peoples.
This monument contains over 800 ruins and had a population of over 4,000 people.
Wupatki Pueblo is the largest site in the monument.
It was a multi-level high-rise pueblo with about 100 rooms.
There is a ceremonial ballcourt.
It had a community room that served as a meeting place.
We end our day by driving through the Navajo Reservation so we can visit Hopiland tomorrow. Hopiland is the Hopi Reservation, completely surrounded by the Navajo and in a very remote area, containing the longest continually inhabited communities in the United States.

Looks like a history lesson if I ever saw one.
