The park protects a dense concentration of exceptionally well-preserved prehistoric cliff dwellings, including over 500 archeological sites, along 10 miles of Walnut Creek. It is an important wildlife corridor and provides habitat for numerous charismatic and rare wildlife species, including elk, black bear, mountain lion, peregrine falcon, and Mexican spotted owl. The park contains a 237-acre private inholding that includes a historic dam, and road access. A segment of the Arizona National Scenic Trail crosses the park. Annual park visitation is 160,000.

The 3,040- acre park is surrounded by USDA Forest Service land, and the park's administrate area (visitor center, employee housing, maintenance facility and utilities) is located on the national forest. The administrative area and the loop road connecting SUCR with WUPA are managed by the National Park Service under an agreement with the USDA Forest Service. The park protects Sunset Crater Volcano, the Colorado Plateau's most recent volcanic eruption. In addition to the main cinder cone, the park protects a variety of other volcanic features, including spatter cones, squeeze-ups, ice caves, fumarole depos and pahoehoe lava flows and deep volcanic cinder deposits.

Wupatki National Monument was established by presidential proclamation in 1924 and enlarged several times to its current size of 35,422 acres.

It provides an increasingly rare opportunity to view a vast dark night sky and experience . Over 96% of the park is eligible for designation as wilderness. Annual visitation is 200,000.
