Homolovi State Park

Homolovi State Park is an Arizona state park just over a mile north of Winslow, preserving more than 300 Ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites. Homolovi, or Homol'ovi in Hopi spelling, means "place of the little hills". The park offers historical exhibits, interpretive programmes, birdwatching and hiking, and has a year-round campground with showers and a dump station for recreational vehicles. It was closed from 22 February 2010 to 18 March 2011 because of state budget cuts. From 1986 until that reopening it was named Homolovi Ruins State Park; the Hopi tribe, which considers the sites spiritually alive, asked the state parks board to drop the word, and on 17 March 2011 the board voted unanimously to change the name and to add the tagline "ancestral Hopi villages". It recorded 31,758 visits in 2024.
