Montezuma Castle is one of the best-preserved examples of cliff dwellings in the country. Over a million visitors come to see the dwelling each year. Due to its popularity, there is a heightened concern for its preservation. These dwellings are very fragile, so visitors are not permitted to walk through the structure. The taking of cultural and natural materials from the site is also prohibited.
Visitors can see the dwellings from the path at the base of the cliff.
This path is wheelchair accessible. The paved one third of a mile self-guided trail is the only way to view the dwelling. Rangers are available on the trail to answer questions. A Visitor Center has many artifacts found in the area on display. There are exhibits showing what life was like for the Sinagua people.
