The castle itself inside the rocks. - Montezuma Castle National Monument

A dwelling

This dwelling is build against (maybe it's better to say "build in") steep rocky hills. We were really amazed how they must have done that all those years ago!

Not such a large park.

The park gave us a very good impression how these indians must have lived. The National Monument isn't such a large park and therefore walking over the path it will give you several good viewpoint to see the castle itself.

That's an interesting story about the cactus! Did most cacti(?) have their arms up or down when you saw them?
