    168. Lava Fields and Ancient Ruins: A Day at Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monument

    We spent one day at two of the most underrated national monuments in Arizona, and it completely blew us away. Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monument sit along a 35-mile scenic loop road just north of Flagstaff. One entrance fee covers both parks. The landscapes could not be more different. And together they tell one of the most fascinating connected stories we have come across in our years of full-time RV travel. In this episode, we walk you through both parks from the ground up. We cover the history of the Sunset Crater eruption and the Ancestral Puebloan communities who lived through it, the two types of lava you will find on the trails, and every hiking trail at Sunset Crater Volcano. Then we drive the loop to Wupatki and take you through the 104-room Wupatki Pueblo, the blowhole, the ancient ball court, Wukoki Pueblo, the Citadel, and Lomaki. We also share our experience boondocking at Cinders OHV area right next door. This is a great one for families planning a stop near Flagstaff.  Full show notes and links: thefaiolas.com/168 Connect with us Leave us a voice message: thefaiolas.com/message Email: [email protected]
