Stop Press! Something we forgot!
On our last day in Flagstaff we decided to explore some of the 'lesser known' national parks of Arizona. So we hopped in the Corolla and went along to the Sunset Crater National Park! It was pretty cool and a lot of the park was made up of a lava flow trail as well as the actual crater. We wandered around and enjoyed the peace and quiet (and gale force winds!) of the park compared to the rammed Grand Canyon of the day before. Then we went along 20 miles into the park and discovered the Wupatki settlements of the Native Americans consisting of old 'buildings', pottery and a sports ring! I got so involved that I wanted to stop at one of the Native American 'trading posts', only to be scuppered in my attempts to promote the local economy by a savage dog that ran up to the car and chased us, complete with shiny fangs that craved blood. Thats how I tell the story anyway.
