Montezuma Castle National Monument - Ancient Cliff Dwelling | Arizona

In this video, we will tour these unique ancient ruins in the heart of Arizona featuring a ⅓ mile out and back paved trail around the cliffside structure with 36 feet of elevation gain. I highly recommend making the stop to this dwelling if you are in the area, it is definitely worth it. There is a $10 entrance fee to enter but luckily we had our America’s Parks Pass. Well-organized exhibits line the inside of the Visitor Center as well as a gift shop offering locally crafted souvenirs.
Approximately 350,000 people a year gaze through the windows of the past during a visit to Montezuma Castle. Even 600 years after their departure, the legacy of the Sinagua people continues to inspire the imaginations of this and future generations.

@@cartoonsandcannabis That is so incredible my friend I want to thank you for your service as a Park Ranger. I’ve always wanted to be a park ranger myself, it seems like such rewarding work. I try my best to showcase the brief history of the destination and I appreciate your feedback! 😁👍
