1. We will visit Wupatki National Monument and view many several sites built by the Ancient Pueblo people dating back to 500AD. Located between the Painted Desert and ponderosa high country of northern Arizona, Wupatki is a landscape of legacies. Ancient pueblos dot red-rock outcroppings across miles of prairie. Wupatki, which means "Tall House" in the Hopi language, is a multistory Sinagua pueblo dwelling comprising over 100 rooms and a community room and the northernmost ballcourt ever discovered in North America. The dwelling's walls were constructed from thin, flat blocks of the local Moenkopi sandstone, giving the pueblos their distinct red color. Held together with mortar, many of the walls still stand. Each settlement was constructed as a single building, sometimes with scores of rooms.

2. While north of Flagstaff we will also visit Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. This is a U.S. National Monument in the north-central portion of Arizona, created to protect Sunset Crater, a cinder cone within the San Francisco Volcanic Field. In 1928, a Hollywood film company, Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, planned to detonate large quantities of explosives on the side of Sunset Crater in order to create an avalanche for Zane Grey's motion picture Avalanche. Public outcry over this plan led in part to the proclamation of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument by President Herbert Hoover in 1930. A 1-mile, self-guided loop trail is located at the base of Sunset Crater, but hiking to the summit is not permitted. A visitor center is located near the park entrance.

About Phoenix

Phoenix is Arizona's desert capital, a sprawling Sonoran Desert city of saguaro cacti, museums, mountain parks and year-round sunshine.

Phoenix spreads across the Salt River Valley in the Sonoran Desert, ringed by mountains and dotted with saguaro cacti. Its name recalls the ancient Hohokam canals on which the settlers built. Camelback Mountain, a red sandstone peak shaped like a kneeling camel, rises in the east, and South Mountain Park is among the largest city parks in the United States. The Desert Botanical Garden shows cacti and desert flowers.
