Amazing building way back when? Holy cow! You must see this to believe it! Great history lesson for the kids. Beautiful views!

We stopped at the National Monument on our way to spend a day visiting Jerome and I am glad we did. This site is as interesting as Montezuma's Castle and one is allowed to get up close to the ruins. There were hundreds of rooms built out of rock, mud, logs, and branches perched on top of a steep knoll above the river. At least two hundred or more people lived in this primitive fortress at the peak of settlement. They grew and gathered food from the valley below and brought water, food, wood and other necessities all the way to the village on top of the hill every day. Talk about a view, these people could see strangers approach from miles away. Their houses had no doors, but the entrance was by ladders through the roof. Undoubtedly, this kept out a lot of unwelcome guests. There is a nominal fee to visit the monument and there is a small museum that interprets what life may have been like for these people. A visit is worth an hour of your time and the view will make one envious.

If you are near Tuzigoot veer off and spend a hour there.The view is great as is the history. The employees were all enthusiastic and helpful which makes it even nicer.

While staying in Sedona, we took a day trip to Clarksdale, Jerome and the surrounding areas. We stopped at Tuzigoot National Park before going on a train ride. The ruins were amazing. You can walk up to and into them. It was astonishing how ancient native people built these communities in the desert. As a National Park, we were able to get in free with our senior pass. But, it would have been worth the price of admission.

Wonderful piece of history that was easy to access via a smooth paved path. These ruins have great signage with history. I really enjoyed my dog being able to go on the 1/3 mile loop. With my dog's help I was able to navigate the trail.A bonus was the baby lizards.

It was awesome, we enjoyed the sunshine and views from the Monument! Gorgeous! Stranding there thinking about the Indians that lived there and standing right where they would have stood.

We decided to visit Tuzigoot after we visited Montezuma's Castle. They are reliatively close to each other. Tuzigoot has a nicely paved walkway up to the top of the ruins, but it is not accessible for someone that has difficulty walking. I wish that had been mentioned on the website. The views from the top of the ruins was beautiful. You could see for miles. I would have liked to have seen more artifacts or descriptions of what had been there.

Very good Indian ruin site. You learn about the ancient indians as well as what plants in the area are used for what cures and other interesting things. Also some aditional discussions about the mining in the area. Well worth the stop if you are in the Verde Valley.

My wife and I stopped here before going on the train nearby. It was nice and we learned a little about the Indians that occupied the area.

We enjoyed Montezuma's Castle but Tuzigoot felt more ancient and the museum is wonderful! Once we climbed to the top of the ruins, the view was fantastic! a must see!!!
