Very quiet and all attractions in a single cluster....

We went on a private tour with John from Flagstaff Shuttle and Charter and he gave us a great tour. We started in the visitors centre and watched the video which gave us a great orientation. We then took the approx one mile circular walk ( some steps but very manageable) looking at the rock formations, trees and plants and... More

The park service does a great job of maintaining the area and ruins. Incredible to see how the native americans lived in this harsh area. Walk around the ruins is fairly easy and a very short ride from Flagstaff. Worth a trip to see.

Walnut Canyon is a great time, from the 1st awesome view across the canyon from the glass viewing in the visitor center, to climbing down to get an upclose view of the ruins. It's definitely worth the climb down all the stairs (remember you have to come back up!) to see the views in the canyon and get up close... More

Being able to walk right into ancient native ruins was worth every step down AND up the 185 feet vertical drop.

We got there 20 minutes before Visitor Center closing. Pretty wooded area and nice view of abandoned aborigine dwellings from visitor center. Small gift shop, friendly rangers.
