The dark charred bulk of Sunset Crater Volcano, responsible for the last eruption in Arizona, less than 950 years ago. There are some intriguing hiking trails around the cinder cone and through the surrounding forest that still bears the scars of that violent event.

Walnut Canyon, is an upside down Wupatki. Instead of exposed tall pueblos, the ancient people of Walnut Canyon used the ledges and alcoves in the limestone walls to build their compact cliff dwellings. A couple of trails take you right to the ancient structures so you are definitely walking in the footsteps of the past. If you want to avoid climbing, a rim trail keeps you up top with great views.
