We have identified 34 ruins in backcountry areas of Wupatki National Monument. From what we have found out is that guided tours are offered occasionally by the Parks Service in the way of multi-day backpacking excursions. Several of the ruins on the map are just outside of the Monuments boundary and might be visitable on your own. The GPS file for these ruins includes waypoints but no routes since the majority of the sites can’t be visited without a guide or special permission.
Included with this post is the GPS file and map that we plan to use for our first visit. If you don't want to wait for us to get around to it feel free to try the GPS file and map for yourself. With no guarantee, of course, but they most often prove valuable for us.
