The park is located just over a mile north of Winslow, Arizona, and features historical exhibits, interpretive programs, birdwatching, and hiking.

During a meeting in Winslow on March 17, 2011, the board unanimously voted to change the name and to add the tagline "ancestral Hopi villages" to the park.

[5] The visitor center displayed pottery sherds, baskets, and other artifacts, as well as offering an introduction to the human history of the park area.

Hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders could use the 6 miles (9.7 km) of unshaded dirt roads in the park along with the trails leading to archaeological sites.

These include notable species such as hawks, golden eagles, killdeer, Gambel's quail, great blue herons, and red-shafted flickers.

Many mammals can also be seen in the park, such as gray foxes, bobcats, badgers, prairie dogs, desert cottontails, jackrabbits, and porcupines.
