Such a cool place to stop and check out cliff dwellings just outside Flagstaff. The hike is easy if you are in moderate shape. Lots of stairs so not wheelchair friendly down unto the canyon. The rim trail is better suited for the less physically inclined.

We love anything National, so when we last minute decided to stop by on a whim. Because we Google this place, didnt disappoint! Staff nice, social distancing mostly observed, limit peeps inside the store.at bottom of Island trail, theres a 1 way directional path, unfortunately the 700+ steps up and down werent. Be aware that trail closes at 3:30pm. Cool to observe the CLiff dwellings up close!

Walnut Canyon is absolutely gorgeous, and the trails are very well marked and maintained. Theres a lot of great information about the indigenous people who made this area their home, as well as reminders about the importance of conservation. The hikes arent very long, but the Island Trail was a little difficult for us on the way back (you climb about 30 flights of stairs).

This place was amazing! The homes of these Native Americans and locations were very impressive. It takes you back in time.

Easy reach from Flagstaff, fascinating history of how the native Americans lived in the natural cliff dwellings. Moderate walk down some 300 steps but then you have to climb them back up! Just take your time and you too can do it!

Just do It! Go for it! Its really worth the hike down the stairs it is SO BEAUTIFUL AND BREATHTAKING! Leaves you SPEECHLESS! Pictures are not enough, it just isnt the same.

Beautiful aera. Short hike but lots of stairs. Kids and families loved it from what I over heard when I was there. I will be back, very cool to see the dwellings up close. The elderly wished they could have seen everything but were concerned about the stairs. There is a difference path along the canyon that is good and can be done in a wheelchair. All pathways were well maintained. Great info signage along the main hike too!

Cool to see the caves up close. Decent elevation decline and incline so be prepared to hike a bit even though its only a 1 mile trail.

Really cool National Monument, fun short hikes. So interesting to see and learn about how the ancient Native Americans lived in the past. Although the book store is currently outside, the park rangers and staff are all super nice and helpful. Great visit!

Great close and distant views of many cliff dwellings. Bring water and go early. There were alot of people on the staircase and theres nearly 300 steps up.

This place was awesome. Loved the view, the walking path was amazing!!!! It was a perfect place to be out in nature. We were crunched for time while visiting this, due to incoming rain, so there was a lot of the path we didn’t make it to. What we did see was truly beautiful!

I loved the scenic views of Walnut Canyon. They are simply amazing.

This was my second time visiting here. Its such a unique experience. I always marvel at the resourcefulness of the people who lived here. You can step into the structures along the island trail to really get a feel for what it was like to live there so long ago.

Beautiful! Couldnt do the longer hike because someone fainted on the way up but I will return to do it. Looks AMAZING!

Only 2 trails but totally worth going if youre in the area. There are quite a few stairs but doable.

This place is so cool! Tons of things to see. The hike back up can be a little tough so take water before you head down. Highly recommend this place.

Gorgeous hike. One of the few cliff dwellings you can actually go into.

This was an extremely interesting visit. We had children with us who the park rangers gave workbooks to so they could learn about various plants and other attractions. One trail consisted of steps that led down to a loop. The stairs were steep but our group went down, then up without stopping. Many seniors were stopping to enjoy the scenery and to rest along the steps. What the indians built was impressive and ideal considering what they had to work with. We gad a senior pass but this site is worth the cost they charge. Very interesting lessons to be learned here.

Nice family friendly hike thru old Indian ruins. Good learning experience. Great workout going up the stairs to get out of the canyon if you take Island trail. Bring water and sunscreen.

It was a nice break from isolation. Nice to my walking trail. Didnt go inside too many people. Too old it takes a 200 + steps down to the island of the ruins. Smile God bless have a good day

Beautiful view, kind staff, and lovely scenery. Definitely a must see if youre in the flagstaff area.

If you hike its better small but deep canyon

Nice lady. Chill area. 9/10 would recommend

Tough with virus around but rangers are doing their best

Took the mile long Island Trail hike! Exhausted but loved it! Rock formations and natural environment with native dwellings nestled in cliffs was fascinating!

A terrific trip into history and natural beauty down and up 700+ stairs - makes a great constitutional! Lovely weather.

This place is amazing and alive with energy that Sparks the imagination. The trails to see the amazing relics are really easy hikes. It is worth the trip, very accessible

First time going since I was a child. A nice Autumn day made it for a terrific experience.

Close to Flagstaff and you can finish the trail in 1 1/2hours. It will take you to the past.

Cool place! The rim trail short and flat for handicapped. U see a lot.

700 plus steps step into the past of native Americans homes

It is a great place I have been there before. Brought my kids to see it and you cant get much closer to it than the parking lot. The have the visitor center closed and the path down goes from inside.

By the time we for here there was only 20 mins left. But in those 20 min it was very pretty and informational

Another piece of history. Nice walking paths and explanations. One path easy, the other more difficult.

This was an amazing stop on the way back to Texas! Im glad we made it

Quiet and perfect short half day trip to experience so far one of the best pueblos in the area.

I loved it was my first time there will see the rest next week to hike the trails to ancient cave homes

Alot of walking but worth seeing.

Only the rim trail is open and there is an outdoor gift shop open. Because of the limited options there is no charge to visit. The views are still amazing.

This is a cool indian ruin with a short, but moderately difficult (700+ stairs) trail. Worth the visit.

As of time of my post, the lower trail and visitors center is closed due to the pandemic. That said, its still worth the excursion to Walnut Canyon for the breathtaking views. It wont be a long trip, but I recommend it all the same.

Peaceful! Rim trail was perfect for breaking in my new hip.

The views were stunning and very informative. You can see easily a few dozen Hopi dwellings and enter some of them. This park is great for a short and sweet visit if youre trying to follow a dense schedule.The hike is a short 1 mile trail with lots of stairs that wrap around the main area of the canyon and is relatively easy on the body. We took our friend who is asthmatic and he seemed to push through with little trouble. The stairs might be of a slight problem for older people or those out of shape. Luckily there is stable railing along the steps in which you can pace yourself through.All in all a worthwhile journey, even through the rain and snow.*Note that the accessibility lift was broken as of this writing.

Beautiful view of the canyon from the Canyon Rim trail. The other trail and visitor center are currently closed (end of July 2020) but there was no fee at this time.

Amazing views.... staff was so helpful.

A beautiful and fun hike for the whole family. I can see why the natives chose to live here.

Its a beautiful park that holds the remains of constructions made by the Sinagua Pueblo. Landscape dominated by juniper trees and a developing canyon

Beautiful place to visit. Lots of history and amazing scenery.

It was gorgeous, but people should not be wearing mask while hiking. Such a huge health hazard.

We love the took a nice walk through it I would check it out something different.

I strongly recommend this place for everyone.

Clean place, courteous people and cool souvenirs!#JLYASDW

Very friendly and clean. Nice views!

Absolutely beautiful views. Really an incredible part of Flagstaff and a must see for anyone visiting or living near by.

Beautiful, worth the hike! 736 stairs round trip!

Amazing place. Right off the freeway.

Very interesting but the best places were closed due to the pandemic.

Great place to visit,. Limited Parking especially for motorhomes and travel trailers. Totally worth it though. Check my other social media for images. @vettemania18

Amazing!!! It is worth every step!!

Interesting stop, nice trail short but steep.

Walnut Canyon is amazing! Fun, easy hike for kids and the scenery is gorgeous!

All Trails except for the main one is closed looks like fun though.

Nice hike around the ruins.

Just WOW! Beautiful history!

Wonderful place lots steps and great parking Best to do in the morning

One of my favorite National Monuments!

Beautiful placeIf you can handle a lot of stairs you have to do the island trail!

Awesome scenery! Trails offered for the not so enthusiastic hikes

Lots of history here. Great trails

They charge $15 for adult

Friendly park rangers very informative. Great place to hike.

Some really cool history here.

Beautiful canyon only 15 mins away from Flagstaff (East). Part of the National Park Service. No pets allowed inside the visitor center. Well maintained restrooms and helpful rangers.Entry to the island trail is through the visitor center. The center closes the island trail entry at 4:30 PM and the main gates at 5:00 PM

Visitors Center remains closed. Rim trail is open to public and has views of Cliff dwellings from overlooks along rim trail.

Another treasure of our National Park Service. Mother Natures splendid vistas mixed with Native American history.

The monument and trail system are great as well as the visitors center but the staff could try to be friendly and maybe even speak to people instead of standing around ignoring folks.The visitors center is that small spot at the top of the cliffs in my photo.

This place was gorgeous and very educational! I learned about vegetation there by reading the little signs. It was a very nice hike.

Very informative.

Beautiful building and exhibit

Interesting national monument. I learned the precolumbian inhabitants grew cotton. I thought they used yucca for fiber but they also used cotton.

Beautiful place

A national monument that I think is underrated

Nicely done to maximize seeing the scenery without ruining the overall look of the landscape. Friendly rangers. The museum/information area is in serious need of an update but is adequate.

Visitor center is closed. Cant go to the cliff dwellings.

Neat place to visit

Beautiful place. Accessible walk as well as more challenging trails.

Very close to Flagstaff and totally worth a side trip. The short, steep island trail, is paved steps, so should be easy enough for most. The views are beautiful and there are ruins everywhere

10/10, would hike again.

Very beautiful an well kept place really loved the hike.

We love Walnut Canyon. Great for almost every age and type. The center is informative, and park staff are fantastic.

Simply awesome! Great ranger staff. Good walk and historical and educational experience.

If you find yourself in Flagstaff, AZ you definitely need to check out Walnut Canyon. Stop by the Visitors Center, the rangers are super helpful!

Be prepared with water and enough energy to climb a large number of stairs. It is well worth the trip.

Great views

Interesting Park the island trail lead you down into the canyon and right past multiple dwellings that were carved out of the side of the canyon walls definitely gives you an up-close-and-personal look at these dwellings that are very common in this part of the country.

Closed for pandemic.

Much to see out the picture window!!!

Great place! Staff are amazing! If you are afraid of highs, there is a path up top that lets you see alot without the vertigo. Now is a perfect time of the year to go, not alot of people. Go in the morning before the wind starts.

Friendly staff. Great views and interesting cliff dwellings
