Much of what you see here has been recreated. If you want to see Native ruins drive an hour or so to see Wupatki!

We were driving past the sign for the Elden Pueblo several times during our vacation this past week, so we finally decided to check it out. Pretty crazy how a bit of it still stands today after so long. It does not cost any money to check it out. It is located in a rather forest-y area that’s great for hiking if you’re into that. If you’re not into hiking, not to worry… the ruins are located kinda near the parking lot itself. At the beginning of the trail, you will find a guest book that asks you to put in your name and contact information, so in case you get lost, so-and-so will know who to contact if something were to happen. There are also informational brochures available as well.

A small but significant archaeological site that is as easy to reach as turning off the road and pulling in. There is a guestbook to sign in and informational pamphlets telling you about this place and you can follow it as a map– it is numbered with corresponding sites. It’s not the most intact ruin by any means but it is a pleasant walk if you take about 15 – 30 minutes to enjoy it. The site is easily reached from Flagstaff and is nestled into a pretty setting. I did archaeology work here with my NAU class years ago and I visited again earlier this year and they have continued to excavate and you will see work tools and such around.

Elden Pueblo, a Sinagua pueblo dating between 1100 –1275, is a small ruin of about 70 rooms on the west side of US Highway 89(just south of the Townsend-Winona Rd intersection. There’s not much to see as a lot of excavation remains but this site is interesting because it provides the local community archeological site education programs and is only minutes up the road from the modern-day archeological site called Flagstaff Mall.
