Homolovi State Park

Homolovi State Park, just north of Winslow near the Little Colorado River, preserves more than 300 Ancestral Puebloan sites and remains closely tied to living Hopi heritage. The Homol'ovi cluster includes seven pueblo ruins built from about 1260 to 1400 by communities ancestral to the Hopi, whom the Hopi call Hisat'sinom. The fertile floodplain supported crops such as cotton, corn, beans, and squash, and Homolovi II became the largest settlement, with about 1,200 rooms, plazas, and kivas. The park also includes older pit-house depressions, petroglyphs, traces of the later Sunset settlement, and a surviving cemetery, reflecting both deep Indigenous history and a later pioneer chapter.
