The paths carved into the Arizona cliffs at Walnut Canyon
were once a vital source of transport for those inhabiting the cliffside
homes. Water and food were trudged into the region, keeping the soil
fertile, the citizens fed, and generally allowing life to flourish.
The Sinagua were simple people who lived in this Arizona region about
one thousand years ago. When visiting Walnut Canyon, you can hike the
same challenging paths and attempt to relate to life in their time.
Thorough tours and an informative visitor center provide a detailed
glimpse into their lifestyles through imagined stories and actual remains.
The geology and natural life of Walnut Canyon is also worth noting.
Large elk can sometimes be seen along the pathways around the dwellings.
Here, tall trees stick out of the cliffs also, providing a rare brush
with natural coverage in the midst of a desert.
