Walnut Canyon's Cave Dwellings, AZ
Ancient Dwellings at Wipatki, AZ
Grand Canyon
Arizona
This month we wandered our way through 4 states. From Flagstaff we visited Walnut Canyon to see the Cave Dwellings there. On our way to the Grand Canyon we visited Sunset Crater Volcano and the ancient dwellings at Wupatki. We stayed several nights on the south rim of the Grand Canyon NP (the north rim doesn’t open until May). This gave us time to see most of the viewpoints, and hike along the rim and into the canyon. We attended an excellent talk on the two Roosevelts (Teddy and FDR) and their impact on the park. Without them, the canyon could have become an amusement park, or the world’s largest landfill. No visit is complete without seeing the IMAX movie on the Grand Canyon. The first time we saw this movie was in 1984; we had taken a dory trip down the first half of the canyon and hiked out of the canyon at Phantom Ranch. Our dory oarsman was Kenton and he played one of Powell’s boatmen in the IMAX movie.
