Last week we traveled north of Phoenix to visit the archeological sites of Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot, and historical Jerome. Pictured above is the impressive cliff dwelling just outside of Camp Verde. Enjoyed two interesting story telling park rangers who filled us in on the native culture, the flora and the fauna of the area. Next, we drove on to Tuzigoot, which housed a larger group of Indians in rock walled dwellings atop a high mound overlooking an expansive valley.
Our trails then led up a windy mountain road to the charming town of Jerome. At one time, in the mining boom days, the population hit 15,000, but now is at a steady 400+ year-round residents.
