Just down the road from Sunset Crater lies Wupatki National Monument. This place is special for me since I have shot many rolls of film
here. It is the site of several ancient Native American pueblos and many
artifacts. It is speculated that the eruption of the volcanos almost 1,000
years ago created a fertile plain in the region capable of agriculture. The
region includes several pueblos, ball courts, and even a blowhole that connects
to an underground cavern. It either expels air or creates a vacuum based on the
air pressure. It is pretty cool, but apparently did not serve any known purpose
to the inhabitants. Here are the recent pictures. Again, it was overcast, but the pictures are still good.
