The Wukoki trail is located in the Wupatki National Monument near Flagstaff, Arizona. The ruins were built on a rock outcrop atop a hill. The 3 story structure standing on its prominent location has the appearance of a fortress with a commanding view of the surrounding landscape. The name 'Wukoki' means 'big house'. The name was originally given to the much larger Wupatki ruins but when that ruin was renamed the Wukoki name was appropriately transferred to this site.
