Continuing our May 2015 trip to the Southwest, we stopped at Wupatki National Monument near Flagstaff, Arizona. The visitor center is located on Sunset Crater - Wupatki Loop Road at a location 13.5 miles from its northern terminus on US 89 and 21 miles from its southern terminus on US 89.
The visitor center houses an exhibit area, bookstore, a fee station and an information desk. Public restrooms with running water are also located in the same building. There is no theater. A paved trail out the back door leads to the Wupatki Pueblo ruins.

Other fee payment options include the Flagstaff Area National Monuments Annual Pass for $25, the America the Beautiful - National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands passes including the Annual Pass ($80), Senior Pass ($10 for lifetime), Access Pass (free with documented disability) and Military Annual Pass (free for active duty personnel).
