Today Cody and I took the kids to Montezuma's Castle. It is ancient ruins nestled in a limestone cliff that was built over 1000 years ago by the Sinagua People. Quite an amazing sight! I can't believe how crafty people were so long ago and could build what they did... into a cliff without today's technologies and tools! They used to let people explore by going in the ruins, but now you have to look at them from a distance... you can't even go near them because they are "re-vegetating" LOL!
I found a picture of what the Ruins looked like in 1887...
After exploring, we went to Sonic! WHOO WHOO for Happy Hour half price drinks and slushies :)
Then we drove to Clarksdale where we saw the Verde train depot, a bunch of mines and the Tuzigoot Ruins.
After that we went exploring in the Mingus Mountains where we found some great views and fun areas for trails and possible camping sites. I also found out that I may be the only one in the world who thinks that a wild animal might jump in the window while driving in the mountains... but I have it down anyways...
Today was a fun day!
I have lived here my WHOLE life and never been there!
