Montezuma's Castle and Well National Monument, Near Fort Verde, Arizona

The trip to Montezuma's Castle was interesting, but not one of our most fun. The Well, on the other hand, was quite scenic and exciting. I also got to enjoy some Native American Flute Music performed live by Harry Seavey (https://highspirits.com/products/the-messenger-music-cd).

Montezuma's Castle had a nice visitor's center and some interesting things to purchase and watch, but the Castle itself was a bit disappointing. We couldn't get as up close to it as other sites we had recently been to, and it was much more crowded and noisy than the others as well. Still, the flute music was nice, and if your looking for souvenirs this is definitely the place.

Montezuma's Well was far more interesting with a more involved hike. Especially going down to the outlet on the back side of the well is a very nice and scenic place to be. The giant trees and man-made ditch are especially fun to see.

You cannot walk from one place to the other (it's a 20-minute drive partially along the freeway), which may be while most people don't show up as well after seeing the Castle, which is unfortunate because the Well is likely the better spot to see.

These are probably the most popular Verde Valley Archeology sights to go see, but there are plenty more in the area. Be sure to check out my other videos for more great places to visit like this.
