Beautiful area right outside Flagstaff. Interesting artifacts. Would be a national park except for the size. You can do this in a 1/2 a day.

This is not your run of the mill historic tourist attraction. While there is plenty of history to learn about at the visitor center you can take in as much or as little as you desire.
