I went to the canyon years ago and was excited to take my family. We got there only to find that a land slide had damaged the trial and you are not allowed down into the canyon. They said they expect it to be open by 2009, but call first.

Within a short drive East of Flagstaff, lies a hidden treasure of the National Park system. Beautiful vistas and a wonderful history of how the Native Americans lived in this area and survived from day to day. Shouldn't be missed.

While there isn't anything truly amazing (like Mesa Verde), the atmosphere is what keeps me coming back. There is just a sense of peace at Walnut Canyon that just lifts the spirit. There are two great hiking trails and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a break from the ordinary.

I have lived in Flagstaff two years and only about 5 miles from Walnut Canyon and had never been until recently. It's one of the most under-rated attractions in N. AZ. It's simply gorgeous and the walk down the steps is great.

The place turned out to be much more than we expected and I would love to go back and spend more time.

My wife and I had not set out to visit this place, we happened on it by chance. But I found it to be a fascinating adventure. I think the descent into the canyon gives a feeling of being removed from the feeling of modern time. As though the inhabitants would all be returning shortly with their belongings to fire up the fireplaces and prepare a meal. There were not many visitors there that day an the silence added to the feeling that time had stood still.

You'll walk down steps and back (the hard part) but is is all paved and cememted steps with rails. An easy walk for most. Views our awesome and the site interesting. Not as good as Anasazi mountain ruins but certainly worth seeing and much easier to get to.

Walnut Canyon is worth a stop. Assuming most travelers will be heading to the Grand Canyon, or south to Sedona or Phoenix, this is a beautiful place to stop.

The canyon itself is breathtakeing, then add the fact that there is cliff dwellings just adds to the awe and mystery of this wonderous place.
