Overview

Hype:

Wukoki Pueblo is an impressive eight room structure built on top of a large sandstone pedestal. It was occupied between the early 1100s and mid 1200s CE. The trail is 0.2 miles round trip, accessible up to the base of the pueblo, and offers grand views of the San Francisco Peaks in Flagstaff. The large tower was three stories tall and still contains original wood beams from the roof and ceiling structure.

Story

After visiting Wupatki Pueblo, we headed over to Wukoki. Everyone enjoyed all of it except the wind, which was quite strong. We had fun spreading out our jackets like wing suits and leaning into the wind.
