Was down in the Wupatki National Monument today - out at Wukoki Pueblo. Wukoki is Hopi for "Big House." This place is accurately named. Was built and occupied in the 12th century. There's a beautiful view of the San Francisco Peaks from one of the levels. And down a dirt road about six miles away is a place called Black Rock Falls Crossing of the Little Colorado River. The river was dry but the black volcanic rocks made it look like a river of black rocks. No clue where the falls are - not near the crossing. Kilt is USA Kilts U.S. Army in semi-trad

Always look forward to the posts of your adventures. Can count on them containing beautiful vistas. Have recently started doing my hiking kilted and as most things I now do while wearing a kilt this site and those here have been the initial inspiration to do so. Keep the great pictures coming.

Riverkilt: My wife and I visited the Wupatki ruins during the bicentennial celebration of 1976. We also climbed Sunset Crater (two steps forward, one step back) before the trail was closed, and did our first-ever skiing at the Snow Bowl in the San Francisco Peaks. Your pictures brought back memories. Thanks.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
You're welcome...I've been driving past Wupatki for over ten years...finally had "time" to pull in and explore.
I love your pics of your great SW vista hikes. Keep 'em comin'.
