Historic Route 66
Walnut Canyon National Monument, AZ

Nestled within the walls of the 600-foot-deep lime and sandstone canyon are the remains of 300+ cliff dwellings of the Sinagua Indian Tribe (Spanish for 'without water') built nearly 1,000 years ago. Walk down 240 steps into the canyon to stand within the ruins, or take the .75-mile rim trail that offers views of the dwellings and the surrounding natural beauty of this canyon where there are no signs or sounds of man. Also, be sure to visit the welcome center for additional information.
