Got the information from the information centre which was a help as we did not have a lot of time left after the main visit to the Grand Canyon.

We visited Walnut Canyon National Monument on a trip to Northern Arizona. I was surprised to see exactly how many cliff dwellings there actually were. We took the hike into the canyon and we're able to get an up close look of the dwellings next to the trail, which we were able to access. This site definitely worth the price of admission (even though we got in free with our access pass). I would recommend this to anyone that is traveling through Arizona to see the sites.

We love it. It is easy to get to. Good parking. Very interesting seeing how people use to live in the canyon walls. A great, easy, short, yet interesting & beautiful hike.

It's not the Grand Canyon but it is pretty. Interesting with the old ruins. A nice walk. I didn't walk all the way down, but was told it was worth the walk.

This is a little known and infrequently visited National Monument East of Flagstaff, Arizona. It is focused on the preservation of 14th Century cliff dwellings in a steep canyon. There is a small, but informative Visitor Center on the rim of the canyon that provides an overview of the geography and the human settlement of the area. There is a paved, but steep path halfway down the canyon with approximately 250 steps. The cliff dwellings situated under overhanging rocks are small (this isn't Mesa Verde). However, it gives you an appreciation of the lifestyle and challenges of the residents in living and surviving in this difficult terrain.Worth a stop when visiting the other area attractions.

Historic beautiful and a workout at the same time!! 226 steps take you to the bottom of the canyon should you choose to walk it up and down. You also see Native American Native Pueblos and Ruins

This is an excellent educational site but if you are not able to climb down to the ruins and back to the visitors center it is not for you. The experience is unforgettable and gives you the best feel for what the ancient cultures endured.

Didn't have time to drive to the Grand Canyon while staying in Flagstaff, but needed an outdoor adventure to move our legs after a 7 1/2 hour drive. My 16 yr old son and I loved this hike. It was pretty, informative, and interesting(saying a lot for a 16 yr old:). Overall not too challenging for those who are in somewhat shape and a lazy teenager did just fine(although I know the altitude affects everyone differently). Anyway, we did the "strenuous" trail and loved it and watched the video in the visitor center which was pretty cool too.

An amazing piece of preserved history with up-close views. We did the Island Hike first thing in the morning so we were virtually alone and the morning sun made the location breathtaking. The walk back up is somewhat strenuous including a number of stair cases but well worth the effort for anyone in reasonable physical shape.

Wow, an amazing historical location and a must for those wanting to see the entire Grand Canyon area. Did not get to take a hike on the amazing trails as we travel with our dog but even just seeing it from the top and visiting the Visitors Centre. Its worth while. Suggest you pay the $5 fee per person and that is good for 2 other historic sites in the area - Sunset Crater and Wupatki
