May 9, 2004 - Tuzigoot, Montezuma Well, Montezuma Castle NMs

There are Three National Monuments close to Camp Verde, all dealing with ancient dwellings.  We toured them on the 9th, a hot day.  Here is Tuzigoot NM, a place we had not visited before:

Lots of lizards:

The ruins:

Views from the ruins:

Then we went to Montezuma Well, another NM we had not visited before:

The cliff dwellings:

Below it is shaded and much cooler than up above:

With wild columbines:

Then we went to Montezuma's Castle NM, a place we visited in 2002.  It is a very peaceful place with the cliff dwelling and the trees and creek at ground level.
