Directions OpenStreetMap

Elden Pueblo, the site of a prehistoric Native American village, lies below Mount Elden near Flagstaff, AZ, less than a mile off the old road. It belonged to a wide trading network: macaw skeletons from Mexico and jewelry made of shell from the California coast have turned up here. The Hopi call it Pasiwvi. Today it is protected and used for research and education.

What is Elden Pueblo?

The pueblo was a village whose people traded over long distances. Finds of tropical birds and seashells far from their sources show how connected this community was. The site is now protected for research and learning.

Visiting Elden Pueblo: tips

The site is less than a mile off Route 66 in the Doney Park area, with fuel and a cafe about a tenth of a mile away. Treat it with care and leave anything you find in place. Mount Elden is about 1.6 miles off, and the Museum of Northern Arizona about 5 miles.
