Visitor Center - Wupatki National Monument


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.

An entry fee of $5 per person (16 and over) is collected at the visitor center and is good for seven consecutive days at all three Flagstaff area National Monuments (Sunset Crater Volcano, Walnut Canyon and Wupatki). 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).
