To think how these ancient people lived is simply incredible. Just a short walk from the visitors center is Montezuma's castle! Well worth the admission fee!

Montezuma Castle was a fun place to visit. It is near a river and the trees provide relief from the sun. The visitors center has plenty of books to buy to increasing your understanding of the people. There are two cliff dwelling structures. The largest structured was home to 35 people. They seem to be warlike because of the defensive... More

We happened upon this place by accident. It was a dismal day - cloudy so we just took a drive and came across a sign and decided to go for it.

It is however a very interesting historical site worth a quick visit if you’re in the area, or even just passing by on I-17, as it’s only a short drive away. Although there is a $5 fee to enter, it’s good for... More
