On Saturday, May 8, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will host the “Southern Sinagua Sites Tour – Montezuma Castle, Montezuma Well, and Tuzigoot.” Participants will meet at 9:00 a.m. at Montezuma Castle National Monument (MOCA), 2800 Montezuma Castle Rd, Camp Verde, Arizona.
This Old Pueblo Archaeology Center car-caravan educational tour will visit three of the best-preserved and most spectacular Southern Sinagua culture archaeological sites in north-central Arizona’s Middle Verde River valley. National Park Service archaeologists Matthew Guebard and Lucas Hoedl will lead us to sites in Montezuma Castle National Monument, including Montezuma Well and sites surrounding it, and to the Tuzigoot Pueblo site near Clarkdale. Participants need to wear sturdy walking shoes and bring their own picnic lunches, are responsible for their own transportation, and will need to pay their own $10/person Montezuma Castle entrance fee unless they have an annual or senior pass. (Montezuma Castle fee also covers Tuzigoot; Montezuma Well is free.)
