Welcome!
Wupatki sits in a landscape of legacies, nestled between the Painted Desert and ponderosa highlands of northern Arizona. Ancient pueblos dot red-rock outcroppings across miles of prairie. Where food and water seem impossible to find, people built pueblos, raised families, farmed, traded, and thrived. Today, earth and artifacts whisper their stories.

Stories from all parks

Our public lands are our public commons. They belong to all of us as part of our natural and cultural heritage. They remind us of a larger world that has existed long before the arrival of humans and will survive long after we are gone. –Terry Tempest Williams, Author & Conservationist
