	Walnut Canyon National Monument Museum/Attraction Review Flagstaff Frommers.com
		These cliff dwellings, though not nearly as impressive as those at Montezuma Castle National Monument (50 miles to the south) or Wupatki National Monument (20 miles to the north), are worth a visit for the chance to poke around inside the well-preserved rooms, which were well protected from the elements (and from enemies).
		It's theorized that when the land to the north lost its fertility, the Sinagua began migrating southward, settling for 150 years in Walnut Canyon.
		The Sinagua were the same people who built and then abandoned the stone pueblos found in Wupatki National Monument.
