Reviews
"A beautiful canyon with preserved indigenous cliff dwellings and a nice visitors center. The 1-mile Island Trail loop has lots of steps but is highly recommended. The park rangers were extremely helpful with advice on trails and answered all our questions."
"Unbelievable history to learn about here! The sights are beautiful and inspiring. There are many places to catch your breath on the way back up - don't be intimidated by stairs, it's well worth it. The visitor center has a really interesting video to tell of some of the history and a great view where you can experience the sights without going down to the island. There are signs all over explaining the history of the people who once lived there. There is another hike around the rim, too. Both paved, wear sneakers. The park rangers there are awesome and full of knowledge to share."
"This was our first park of the 3 Flagstaff NPS stops. Google maps stopped a bit short, but we just followed the signs to the park. We came after it snowed, so the one of the main trails was closed. Made sense as it was the one that took you on the cliff edge. You can see them in my photos and also some of the stairs across the canyon. They had some other historic locations to see on the path outside the Visitor Center. Beautiful scenery for sure with the snow. We have to come back again when it is warmer so we can take the other trail."
"Great place to hike/walk paved trails. Very close to Flagstaff. The Sinagua Indian ruins are cool too. Lots of cool plants that are labeled so you know what you're looking at. The entrance fee of $25 per car is pretty steep considering what you see at other parks but it's nice. Definitely buy one of the US national park passes if you're also going to the grand canyon. Probably should have thought about it but just wanted to take pics in the snow."
"Great spot to see some of the historical dwellings in the region, built in the canyon where the rocks have been undercut by water, forming a natural ceiling. The visitor center is small, but the 20 minute film is good and the rangers are helpful. There are 2 trails from the visitor center, a 1 mile trail that drops into the canyon where you are right next to the dwellings (Island trail), and a shorter trail that stays on the rim. The island trail has excellent interpretive signs about the history, geology, and plants."
