Tuzigoot National Monument

We visited on Friday morning, which was a perfect time to see this extraordinary monument. The museum offers an excellent orientation to what you see on the short hike. There are examples of pottery, textiles, tools, and other items of daily life dating back to 900 to 1300 CE. I was really taken with the displays about body, painting and jewelry. I found that information really relatable and relevant in today’s world when we think about how we treat our own bodies. Visiting the site was a real treat and I enjoy the opportunity to see the valley from lots of different perspectives. There were workers, repairing and rebuilding walls in real time, which was pretty neat to see.

Tuzigoot National Monument was a really great thing to experience. Although unplanned during my trip, I am really glad that I stopped by for a visit. It's a really impressive structure considering all of the effort and history behind it. The walk to the top was very easy, and you even get a chance to pass by inside one of the rooms as you make your way to the top.

The gift shop had a lot of really wonderful items! You should visit both Tuzigoot National Monument and Montezuma Castle in the same day if you can since they're tied together.

National park. Easy climb. Ramps first steep..then stairs to top. Nice views all around. Staff nice and friendly. We are National park members so cost nothing for us to get in. But if you are not there is an entrance fee. Bathroom in pretty good shape too.

Easy paved walk around the reconstructed pueblo, and couldn't believe we could climb to the second floor to look out on the surroundings. Sad to learn the surrounding land was ruined from slurry of copper mining that boomed the towns of Cottonwood and Jerome, but good to know revegetation is under way.

Still can't wrap my brain around how archeologists found and rebuilt this structure from a hill of rubble. Amazing history of the Sinagua people and today's tribes who can trace their stories in these lands. Nice museum inside. The interpretative exhibits do a great job of connecting the storyline with Montezuma Castle and the Flagstaff area national monuments.

The ruins are amazing, because show us the simplicity as well the advance eco-economy., the people that developed here had a very wisely and industrious society. This is a place for learning for kids ,and adults. Everything is nice, clean and very friendly staff.😊

Amazing short trip from Sedona. I could track indigenous people’s histories. There was a guide and he explained the history. He knew everything about it and recommended me to watch a video in YouTube. Visiting this place gave me an opportunity to learn the history.

Tuzigoot National Monument is an amazing historical site! Cost is $10 for ages 16+ unless you have an Annual Pass used for all National Parks. This site was discovered in the early 1930's. A short 1/3 of a mile hike around the dwellings. The path is steep and narrow in some parts. There is a park ranger at the top to answer any questions one may have. From northern Phoenix to Camp Verde allow 45 minutes to an hour to Tuzigoot, depending on road construction and traffic.

An important place in the history of the indigenous people. The archeological site is a thousand years old. It helped me appreciate the profound history of the land. Full of information and well organized. Beautiful vistas and well worth the visit.

The ruins are impressive. They are all reconstructions of the rubble which was excavated. The site is a very short walk from the car park.

There is a small museum with excavated artefacts. A small shop is part of that too.

Entrance is $10, and includes a visit to monteczumas castle- which you have 7 days to visit.

There are clean toilet facilities available.

Interesting to see and learn how the natives lived. Beautiful views. Nice road trip. Take the kids and enjoy God's majestic country!

This was such an awesome little slice of history!! The kids all loved learning about the tuzigoot monument. They even got their junior ranger badge! Definitely a memory we will always cherish

I absolutely loved this place. So much to see and do

Really beautiful and open. You can see Jerome in the distance. The valley is gorgeous. There's a mini museum inside the office as well. With it also being so close to the Verde River, I can see this being a good combo trip with that or Cottonwood

Nice visitors center, a bit small. Clean bathrooms.

Nice little hike to the old Pueblo structure

Really awesome national monument considering how quiet it is and being able to walk inside the dwelling. When we went, we were the only ones there, there is another pathway that leads to the marsh overlook as well. Visitor center had tons of stuff in the gift shop as you can tell this monument doesn’t get as much foot traffic, so definitely check it out!

It's great that Tuzigoot is a protected national monument. The area is well-maintained and the interpretive center showcases displays of the local indigenous history.

Pretty cool history behind the areas native cultures. Only from about 1000 years ago. We brought our pets, which was totally cool with them.

Very cool place. I didn’t realize people of this era built structures at ground level.

I only learned of this place recently. Wow, so interesting and beautiful. Helpful volunteer at the "ruins" to answer questions

Great park to spend time at exploring. A recent fire has some of the trails shut down temporarily but the to the top of the hill was extraordinary. Great view from the top of Jerome and surrounding area.
