Cliff Dwellings

Built:	~1120
Type:	Residential
Location:	Walnut Canyon National Monument

These apartments cut into the rock of a 400-foot gorge epitomize the lifestyle of the Indians just before the arrival of European settlers. There are 300 cliff dwellings clinging to the cliffs and ledges of Walnut Canyon. Like other cliff cities in the region, including one in the Grand Canyon, these homes were mysteriously abandoned just before the first Spaniards came to the area.

30 November, 1915 - Becomes Walnut Canyon National Monument.
