Tuzigoot National Monument

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:48:39

Atop a ridge about two miles north of Clarkdale, Tuzigoot National Monument , a Sinaguan pueblo like nearby Montezuma, is believed to have been inhabited from AD 1000 to 1400. At its peak as many as 225 people lived in its 110 rooms. Stop by the visitor center to examine tools, pottery and other artifacts dug up from the ruin, then trudge up a short, steep trail (not suitable for wheelchairs) for memorable views of the Verde River Valley.
