In the center of Arizona lies the town of Camp Verde. The elevation here is 3100′ and mountains mix valleys and canyons for some beautiful scenery. Montezuma Castle was home to the Sinagua people about 700 to 1000 years ago. Their 20 room apartment was built in a rock wall high above the ground. An amazing bit of construction for the time. A few miles away is Montezuma Well, a natural limestone sinkhole fed by a spring. There are several species of wildlife here that only exist here.
Near Cottonwood lies Dead Horse Ranch State Park. The lagoons here attract both birds and people. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the lagoons or hike the trails between the cliffs and the river. Near Dead Horse is the Tuzigoot National Monument. Here, the same settlers of Montezuma Castle built homes along the Verde River.
