About 15 minutes from the hotel
Homolovi State Park near Winslow
Ancestral Hopi village sites on the Little Colorado River, with trails, a visitor center, and dark skies.
What to expect
Homolovi State Park protects ancestral Hopi settlement sites north of Winslow. The Hopi people consider these places part of their migration history, and the park is managed with that in mind.
Short trails lead to pueblo sites and overlooks above the Little Colorado River. The visitor center provides context that makes the walk far more meaningful than the scatter of stone suggests at first glance.
The park's open horizon also makes it a popular stargazing spot on clear nights.
Practical tips
- Stay on marked trails and leave all artifacts in place; removing anything is illegal.
- Carry water — there is little shade.
- Check current hours and any event schedule on the Arizona State Parks page.
