Walnut Canyon National Monument
|
| |
|
|
Walnut Canyon is located
just east of Flagstaff.
Originally this canyon had
a river flowing through it. It was diverted by a dam upstream.
A beautiful location for a home!

|

 |
On an "island" or sorts in the canyon,
ancient people built cliff dwellings part way up the side of the
island.
You can sort of see some of these dwellings near the
top of this photo.
Again, it's a mystery why they chose to build in
such an inaccessible location. Maybe just for the sheer beauty
of the location?

|
Here's a view of the
canyon side.
There are more cliff dwellings just barely visible
about halfway up.
|
|
| |
 |
Here is a close-up of one
of the cliff dwellings.
These ones are not very high, just barely the
height of a person. |
