Walnut Canyon

Also in Flagstaff are the Walnut Canyon Cliff Dwellings.









There are ~5 cliff dwellings in this shot, how many can you see?

Wupatki National Monument

While in Flagstaff we visited Wupatki National Monument and Sunset Crater. Wupatki has some of the best Pueblo ruins I've ever seen!

Petrified Forest and Meteor Crater

Tuesday we drove out to Petrified Forest (lots of old Triassic trees) and Meteor Crater, the first confirmed meteorite impact on earth.

Jason has a whole folder of squirrel photos!

Doesn't look like a fossil does it?

Collared Lizard

All the brown stuff is petrified wood!

Lovely colours... Meghan, I got you some for jewelry making!
Serena checking out the Agate House, a Pueblo (reconstruction) made entirely of petrified wood!

Meteor Crater is big...

Monument Valley... HiHo Silver AWAY!

On the Utah/Arizona Border is Monument Valley of Wild West Fame! This is where the Lone Ranger and many John Wayne Films were shot (directed by John Ford).
