Archaeology sites
With a one night stay in Homolovi state park we had a chance to explore the ruins of the Anasazi and Hopi people that lived in this area. They stayed here utilizing the rich valley before their migration north. Not much remains of what once had between 1200 to 2000 rooms and thousands of residents because of vandalism, treasure seekers and erosion. Even with all of the destruction the area is strewn with pottery and the visitors center has some nice examples gathered from the site. This was a new campground for us and the location near Winslow make it a good stop for the night. Blue had a walk and good nights sleep (so did I) before our final push into Phoenix. The drive through the mountain pass was spectacular.
