About Wupatki

Wupatki National Monument preserves ancient Puebloan ruins built between 1100 and 1250 CE in the high desert of northern Arizona. The monument contains over 2,700 archaeological sites including multi-story pueblos, ball courts, and other structures that demonstrate the sophisticated culture of ancestral Puebloan peoples. The red sandstone ruins are set against a dramatic landscape of painted desert and volcanic features. The monument is managed by the National Park Service.
