"Arizona, a must see State!" a Grand Canyon Travel Page by Royal63

On my way to the Grand Canyon, I stopped at some other very interesting places.
Montezuma's Castle is not really a castle. This five-story, 20 room cliff dwelling nestled into a limestone recess high above Beaver Creek served as a "high-rise apartment building" for prehistoric Sinagua Indians over 600 years ago. It is one of the best preserved cliff dwellings in North America.
Fascinating. Very easy to find.

Be sure and check out my Grand Canyon pictures under Things To Do. FASCINATING place. If you are ever in Arizona, please take the time to go see it. You will not be disappointed.

Montezuma Well is a limestone sink formed long ago by the collapse of an immense underground cavern. Over one and a half million gallons of water a day flow continuously, providing a lush, verdant oasis in the midst of surrounding desert grassland. The waters of the well contain several forms of plant and animal life not found in any other waters of the world. This unique habitat is perhaps due to the constant input of large quantities of warm water that enter through underground springs, keeping the environment within the well very stable.

Prehistoric Hohokam and Sinaguan cultures took advantage of this source of water by irrigating crops of corn, beans, squash, and cotton. The rich riparian and surrounding uplands provided wildlife and native plants to supplement the agricultural products. You can still see traces of ancient lime encrusted irrigation ditches from past farming activity. Also, if you look across the pond, you will see caves they lived in many years ago.

FASCINATING is just one of the words I would use to describe this place.
Tuzigoot is an ancient village or pueblo built by a culture known as the Sinagua. The pueblo consisted of 110 rooms including second and third story structures. The first buildings were built around A.D. 1000. The Sinagua were agriculturalists with trade connections that spanned hundreds of miles. The people left the area around 1400. The site is currently comprised of 42 acres.
