Overview
The Verde River Valley was first permanently settled by the agrarian Hohokam culture around AD700. The ruins seen here today were built between AD1000 and 1400 by the Sinagua, who left many behind many structures in this region.
Highlights
Ruins, museum, scenic views
Must-Do Activity
The Sinagua pueblo at Tuzigoot had about 110 rooms and is estimated to have housed 200 to 300 people. You can walk inside portions of the ruin, including a section with a reconstructed roof.
Best Trail

Instagram-worthy Photo
Tuzigoot pueblo was strategically placed atop a 120-foot high limestone outcrop with commanding views in all directions, but was not a cliff dwelling like those built later at nearby Montezuma Castle and Walnut Canyon National Monuments.
