From this spot on the Wupatki-Pueblo Trail, just a short distance from the Visitors Center you get a fantastic view over the main pueblo. This is a great spot to take in the views and snap some photos before heading in closer to the ruins. Wupatki Pueblo was built between the early 1100s and mid-1200s CE, and was a significant Ancestral Puebloan hub for trade and agriculture. This large structure, located in Northern Arizona, consists of 104 rooms, a ceremonial ballcourt, and a spacious community room for dances and ceremonies, making it the largest freestanding pueblo in the region. Wupatki Pueblo holds deep cultural significance for the 13 Traditionally Associated Tribes of Wupatki National Monument, who consider it a place of spiritual guardianship. Visitors are encouraged to respect this heritage site by leaving no trace.
