If you dont pay extra attention, you might miss the turn. If you dont pay extra attention again, youll understand nothing about this place, even if you are walking and looking around. So, sign in at the entrance, take a paper brochure, see there are paragraphs with numbers, and find little posts with coordinate numbers, things might make more sense. It is a free place, so nothing to complain about, guess they try their best to make things work on a budget.A bit disappointed, to be honest.

Amazing, self guided archaeological site located at the side of the highway. Theres a downloadable guide from the National Park Services. Highly recommend this off the beaten path site for the wonderful look back on the early inhabitants of the area.The little entry way is super hard to spot, we ended up going right past it and having to turn around in the Subway parking lot down the road.

Cool little stop on our way to Williams. We really enjoyed the free pamphlet that explained what everything was. This is free to explore. Cant wait to visit again once they have uncovered more.

Great site! There was a archeologist on site with pieces of clay pottery that were found, as well as a site to try out the primitive weapons with a range manager to help everyone with the weapons and keep it very safe. Great stop!

This is a quick walking trail where you can view Native American ruins. It’s interesting to see the foundation of a community that existed long ago.

Suprisingly very good place to see an ancient pueblo..right off the road. The park rangers were very helpful too. A must gp if you like pueblo ruins.

This site is on the eastern side of Flagstaff. Take an hour to stop and go through as it is an easy walking path. Its hard to believe that water was an issue in this area. Read the information to see how they farmed and survived. It looks like there is continuing archeology work being done here. I have started watching for birds and have found several new ones here. There are no restrooms. It is a gravel path, i believe with help, a wheelchair could make it through this path.

Very well designed self guided tour and informative free pamphlet. I learned a lot more about the Hopi in 15 minutes than I ever had!

This was a free, self guided, easily accessible your - unpaved and flat. Make sure to sign the guest book and pick up a brochure; this [brochure] will describe the rock formations you are looking at and other Eldon lifestyles

Neat ruins near Flagstaff. Not as extensive as nearby Wupatki, but cool nonetheless. And free to visit.

They only tell you about Walnut Canyon, Wupatki and Sunset Crater. Well, this small site is inbetween the crater and the canyon. Its pretty cool and worth checking out.

Really neat. Self guided tour, but I think you have to pay for the map. I didnt see anyone that worked there & I was there on a Friday afternoon. We just walked around all the rooms & made up our own stories. Right next to road so the sound of traffic is pretty distracting but its cool to think they used that road to travel too, before it was paved and taken over by automobile.

Perfect for a self tour, educational pamphlets are at the front of the trail. No bathrooms though but its a short trail. It is an active archeological site. It is in an open area of Coconino National Forest so you might run across a few critters. Easy access from RT 66 on US 89. Loved reading and seeing Hopi history!

Not a lot to it, by National Park standards, but for a small local historical site the signage provides ample information to see how our ancestors lived in this area centuries ago.

American history often forgets to include indigenous peoples histories - take a moment to go here, its free, just to soak in a piece of American history not associated to European expansionism.
