On the Road to Flagstaff, Arizona from Canyon de Chelly

After 2 days in Canyon de Chelly I headed to Flagstaff, Arizona. Highway 264 West out of Ganado, NM was more of my recurrent theme. A repeat of the "Desolate Highway!" It is a mystery to me how some of these folks out there survive? The weather was sunny and 84 degrees.

The highlight of the day happened late when I arrived at the Wupatki National Monument. The photos you see here are of the Lomaki pueblo ruins of the Sinagua and Anasazi cultures. These pueblo ruins are similar to the ones in Canyon de Chelly. But, instead of being built in the sides of the mountains, they were built in the Box Canyons of the Mountain Plateau Prairies of Arizona.
