Wupatki National Monument

So after visiting Sunset Crater and the Painted Desert overlook, we arrived at Wupatki National Monument... These ruins are at least 800 years old from when the Sunset Crater eruption added minerals to the desert and made the soils in the area more fertile for agriculture.   The weather was beautiful with blue skies and 80 degree temperatures...  the views of the painted desert were amazing and the ruins were fascinating!
