Day Off Excursions

Left early to see some area points of interest and to learn more about the native people that lived here years ago.  

Wukoki Ruins: Just north of Flagstaff, these ruins also housed the Sinagua people, the same people we had at Palatki. It was really neat to see and learn more about the natives that used these lands years ago.

Wupatki Ruins: Part of the National Park service, these protected ruins also housed the Sinagua and Hopi people years ago.

Sunset Crater: Just because we wanted to go see it. :-)

Grand Canyon: We were close enough, so why not? Haven't seen the canyon since we went with the kids, so it was neat to reminisce at the same rocks we took photos with the kids.

Lowell Observatory: In the spur of the moment, we wanted to go see the stars through those beautiful large telescopes. We bought a membership which includes many more observatories, and we were blessed with seeing some awesome things in the solar system we've never seen before.  Looks like we'll be looking for a new telescope!  :-)

Walnut Canyon Ruins: This was a spectacular excursion to protected pueblos from years past. Many different native Americans lived in these pueblos that were built deep in the canyons. This is an amazing adventure for anyone!
