Tuzigoot – Just Saying the Name is Fun






We spent one day visiting the Tuzigoot ruins, Montazuma’s Castle and Montazuma’s Well. The Tuzigoot ruins sit on top of a hill and provide a terrific 360 degree view of the surrounding valley. It is a ruin of the ancient Signauan people. It was a warm day – 90 – so we didn’t spend too much time here. We skipped over to Montazuma’s Castle which is not a castle but rather a cliff dwelling ruin. Then on to Montazuma’s well which is a hole in hill. The amazing thing is it’s depth and the fact that the water flows out at a constant 70 degrees. Dipping our feet in the outflow while we sat in the shade of a big limestone cliff was the highlight of our day. Watch out for the poison oak. Luckily we missed it!
