Walnut Canyon is often bypassed to visit the bigger National Parks and Monuments, but it is my favorite. Be sure to bring water and be prepared to climb stairs. Climbing the 240 steps back up can tax heart and lungs. However, with plenty of water and a prudent pace, the climb is rewarded with a marvelous glimpse into Native American history and a true canyon experience.
DIRECTIONS:
Leave I-40 at Exit 204, 7.5 miles (12 km) east of Flagstaff; drive south 3 miles
(5 km) to the canyon rim. Warning: Tight turn around for towed vehicles;
40 feet (12 meters) maximum length advisory.
