tonto national monument印象

It is an amazing portal into ancient history and well worth the walk. The path is paved, but steep, and has benches at intervals. Take your time and take some water. We live about an hour away, and usually bring our guests to see this when they visit. There has always been a ranger/guide at the top to answer any questions and tell about the cliff dwellings. The best thing about it is the fact that it is open to walking around the dwellings and seeing the inside as well as the beautiful view.(FYI: it's free with your National Parks Pass)

When we did the Apache Trail this was one of our stops. The cliff dwellings are in shallow caves overlooking Roosevelt Lake. The dwellings are around 700 years old. Access is only to the lower dwellings and you need to organise prior to your visit permission to access the upper dwellings. The caves are around a leisurely 20 minute walk along a paved path. There are plenty of spots to stop and enjoy the view. At the dwellings are a couple of rangers who are able to give you lots of information about the history of the site.

It figures we arrived here on the day the elevator was out. Just kidding! There's no elevator here, but the stroll up the steep path is well worth it. Not only do you get to step inside ancient cave dwellings, you'll be treated to yet another spectacular view of Arizona. Staff if very knowledgeable and cave gives you a great glimpse of life long before iPhones and Amazon Prime. Give yourself about 45 minutes here.

This is a beautiful location. It's a steep, almost half mile paved trail with benches along the way. Beautiful cactus abound. Views of Roosevelt Lake in the distance. The cliff dwelling is interesting to view and to imagine its inhabitants long ago. A park ranger answered a variety of questions. Visitor center with friendly staff and small gift shop. Definitely a great stop.

It is a pretty good little walk up to the Lower Cliff Dwellings, but you don't have to be in good shape to do it - just take it slow, if you're not. The walls are still in very good shape, and the view from the top is amazing. Also, the cactus is beautiful to get to see up close. The only reason it's not "great" is that right now, you can't see the artifacts that were found in the cave. I understand that they will be putting some of them in their Visitor Center around March.

The lower ruins were great and the guide was super helpful with tons of information about the ruins. We were disappointed to hear we could not go to the higher ruins without a reservation. Why not have 3 tours per day go out 2 hours apart? Really hoped we could have seen the upper. Definitely should stop and see this if your in the area.

Well worth the trip! Guided tours and good exercise make it a great addition to see a piece of American history!

First time we have been to a pueblo so impressed. Look forward to the visiting some of the larger sites in the future. Friendly and informative hosts. Wish we had more time to hike to the upper one, but something for next trip.

Just east of Phoenix at Tonto National Monument are some of the best preserved cliff dwellings in the Southwest. As I've come to expect of the staff of our national parks and monuments, the eagerness to answer questions will only encourage you to visit other sites. Be sure to pull out your Passport and get it stamped. This site is a winner!

We drove the entire Apache trail starting from Apache Junction heading towards Globe. Fantastic ride (that,s another review!). Stopped at Tonto to see the cliff dwellings. OMG, 1/2 mile hike, 350 feet up a cemented path with handrails and benches along the way. The good news is that it was worth the effort. It is not too often that you get to stand in a ancient dwelling from the 13th century looking out over beautiful Lake Roosevelt.We are "seniors" so we have the national park pass (best purchase ever!) but if you do not the entrance fee is only $3.00. Excellent Rangers available to answer questions. Worth the visit!
