My family and I really enjoyed Wupatki. It is an amazingly preserved ruin and worth the visit. Just a short walk from the parking lot and simply amazing to imagine life in those days.

Very scenic drive outside of Flagstaff. Do the 2 hr circle route which includes other local parks including Sunset Crater. Stop for a couple hikes along the way. Rather pleasant, but it's hard to beat the Grand Canyon to the north and Sedona to the south

One of my favorite National Parks. Wupatki is a must see. Indian pueblos built on top of red rock mesas 700-800 years old. Attached to Sunset Crater National Monument, also really interesting. Flagstaff is a center of Archeology and this National Monument is not far outside the city limits of Flagstaff. Also be sure and visit Elden Ruins and Walnut Canyon National Monument.

We were already visiting Sunset Crater NM and added this as it is part of the same loop. In addition to visiting Wupatki pueblo, we also visited Wukoki, Citadel, and Nalakihu Pueblos. On a Sunday in December, we often were the only ones at some of the latter pueblos and this made for an even better experience.
