Wupatki: An Outdoor Classroom
 

A visit to Wupatki National Monument is a great way to bring history to life. Prepared lesson plans/activities are available here, or begin planning your own field trip. You can ensure the safety and enjoyment of students and chaperones by being prepared for your visit.  Consider: 

• Wupatki sits at 4,700' above sea level. Hydrating before your visit can help offset the effect of any altitude changes.  
• Weather at Wupatki is variable. Dressing in layers and wearing sunscreen is always a good idea. 
• Bring plenty of food and water. There are water bottle filling stations at the Visitor Center, and very limited snacks are available in the WNPA bookstore. 

Please help us protect this special place by reminding students and chaperones to stay on trails and never remove or disturb anything.
