Montezuma Castle

On our way back to Phoenix from Sedona, we stopped at the sister site to Tuzigoot--Montezuma Castle. It was amazing. Visitors to the monument used to be able to actually climb up into the cliff dwellings to explore.



We listened to one of the volunteer guides talk about the Sinagua people who once populated these cliff dwellings. They created a 20 room high-rise apartment, farmed, and fished in nearby Beaver Creek. I thought it was fascinating.
