This report is from before I put more time into writing and taking route photos, so it may not be very helpful. I'm keeping it up for the memories, and will one day hopefully return to better document. Find other reports in this region.

Nov 7, 2012 — Walnut Canyon is a National Monument within the Coconino National Forest, and was home to the Sinagua people (without water), who left around 80 cliff dwellings behind around year 1250 CE. I spent some time checking out as many as I could (and that the National Park Service allows) nestled alongside Walnute Canyon's limestone cliffs.
