TONTO NATIONAL MONUMENT | Lower Cliff Dwelling Ruins | 2020

[@susanasalinas4273]

Tonto National Monument is amazing. Love the ruins and being able to go inside them is memorable. And the scenery is iconic.

[@CactusAtlas]

Agree. So few of these places allow visitors to get an "inside" perspective. 😄

Thanks for sharing. I am disabled, and cannot get to many of these ancient treasures. You make it possible to see, enjoy, and learn.

[@CactusAtlas]

Our pleasure! We're pleased to bring you along on our adventures. 😊

That visitors center got a fresh exerior paint job in 2017. I know because i did it! Awesome place

[@CactusAtlas]

Very cool! It's one of our favorite places to visit in Arizona!

[@WanderingWools]

Just got back from the Grand Canyon. Me and my kids only did a few switchbacks down. Early morning for some photos. Was so beautiful.

[@CactusAtlas]

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Im obsessed with the SW. Its on my bucket list. For now i satisfy my obsessive curiosity and quest to learn all i can about our ancient past with videos on youtube. Some day hopefully ill get there. Thank you for taking time and making the effort to show us these places. ❤

[@CactusAtlas]

You're quite welcome! I hope that that day comes sooner than expected and you get to see these places first hand. 😊

[@baronessbooks9909]

Nice that you note the difference in sidewalk versus visitor center

[@coltonzack8714]

I lived in New mexico as a kid use to always go these sites there truly breath taking and amazing at every site I've been to I feel a overwhelming not really overwhelming just a way explaining the strong energy of peace at these sites truly amazing

[@CactusAtlas]

Agree! It's hard not to feel some sense of awe when you're standing in the remaining dwellings of a culture from so very long ago. It gets us every time too.

[@gstiles7]

lived near there for many years and this was my first "visit", thanks! Looking forward to the open house!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Happy to be able to take your there with us on our digital trip. The open house was amazing. That vid is edited and should be out in the next couple weeks.

[@wendycrawford1792]

Excellent visit. Have been to the Bandolier dwellings.

[@CactusAtlas]

Wonderful! We haven't yet made it to that park yet. Hoping to though. 😊

[@robertallen6710]

You guys always make great videos...thanks! Twenty years ago or so when I visited they had a portion of the inner area, where you were walking around, thinking it was room #10, was then roped off in respect...the ranger said they had found the remains of an indian child...fyi

[@CactusAtlas]

😲 That's crazy! I'm going to have to research that as that's truly fascinating! Would love to know more. Thanks for watching and that tidbit of info. 👍

There in December, wanting to get back during green months.

[@CactusAtlas]

If you catch it during a superbloom it is just magical. 👍

[@zarb88]

if there is smoke on the ceiling then yes they lived there, if not and its small storage area.

[@fparker9949]

[@CactusAtlas]

The video was filmed/edited near the beginning of our time on KZbin.

[@fparker9949]
