Tuzigoot National Monument

About 1,400 years ago, the Sinagua people moved into Arizona's Verde Valley and started building residences high on a ridge. Explore the ancient stone structures that remain at Tuzigoot National Monument. Walk around the walls of a 100-room pueblo, and discover how the water-rich landscape allowed the formation of a thriving agricultural community. In the monument's museum, artifacts from around the Southwest explain Tuzigoot's role in trade and travel. The pueblo has been abandoned since the 1300s, but the surrounding desert landscape is remarkably similar; visit any time of year for an immersive history lesson and a wonderful outdoor adventure.
