(December 2021 travel story) The hike is easy for both trails and offers spectacular view going down the mountain. Along the trail, you can look at past dwellings of native tribes. This canyon is home to many unique and rare species so please stop at the visitor center to learn more from awesome rangers and park officers.

This is a great place to get right up close to historical artifacts. You're within a few feet of cave dwellings from 800 years ago created by the indigenous people of the time. It is a short one mile walk in a loop that gives you a view of a lot of cave dwellings and you get to be really close to some of them. The walk out is about 250 steps back up so it can be a little challenging especially at this altitude but the average person can easily do it. There is a rim trail where you can see most everything if you have limited mobility.

They make it very easy to get around and look at the Hopi dwellings on the sides of the cliffs. Stairs with handrails and set trails. I took the 1 mile trail with 736 stairs but there are several benches along the way if you need to take it slow and catch your breath. Beautiful views. $25 to park just for a heads up unless you have a National Park pass.

My wife and I found this monument to be very beautiful. Stunning views but even more impactful were the cliff dwellings. Such a resourceful and innovative people to have constructed these dwellings into the cliffs. The really enjoyed the trails. I am in great shape. If you are not, definitely make sure that you bring water and a snack as well as take your time. There are a decent amount of steps on the island trail and many were winded going back up it seemed.

Dogs on a leash are allowed outside on the rim trail, but not inside the building and not on the trail which goes down into the canyon to view the cliff dwellings. My daughter had her dog with her on our July 2019 visit. We asked at the gate about dogs and the above rules are what the ranger told us.
Yes
Yes. There is a small trail that has frequent benches. They will love the view and there are pueblo ruins to see on that small trail also.
We didn't try that so i wouldn't know but i think it's enforced because i don't think that the security gaurds will want to stay after hours
I believe dogs are allowed on the upper levels as long as you come prepared to clean up after them. There are trails to look down on the canyon and picnic areas. I have never seen dogs there but i don't remember specifically seeing signs that dogs aren't allowed up there. On the trail into the canyon and around the dwellings I'm sure that dogs would not be allowed. You can only enter through the main building and then the trail is not really wide and once down there dogs could do a lot of damage over time to the site. If you need specific information just go the website for Walnut Canyon and if your question isn't answered there you can call them. If you are traveling and need to bring your dog and can't take them out, the weather now is cool enough to be able to leave them in the car very safely. I have dogs so I would not say this casually. Hope this helps you.
$10 per person over the age of 16, good for seven days. All NPS passes are honored (fourth grader, senior passes, etc).
We’re currently camped a few miles away with a 35’ class A towing a car. It’s BLM dispersed camping, free and legal. So if you are towing a car it should be very easy to camp close by. Just look it up on one of the free camping websites.
