Riordan Mansion

Walnut Canyon National Monument

Walk in the footsteps of people who lived at Walnut Canyon more than 700 years ago and peer into their cliff dwellings. The presence of water has made this canyon rare and valuable to its early human inhabitants, as well as to today’s plants and animals. See for yourself along the park’s trails.

 

Pioneer Museum

Located in the historic Coconino County Hospital for the Indigent, this building was built in 1908. Local residents referred to it as the “poor farm” because many of the patients were elderly men without families to care for them. The building was later used as a boarding house and private residence. Tours are given daily.

 

Elden Pueblo

This site of an ancient Sinagua village, inhabited from about A.D. 1070 to 1275, is thought to have been part of a major trading system. The site is located on U.S. Highway 89 north.
