Tuzigoot National Monument

Tuzigoot
Water flows under and through the Valley Verde. Snowmelt, summer monsoons, and springs well up from the ancient sedimentary rocks. In the heart of the valley a thousand years ago, people began to build a little hilltop pueblo that would grow into one of the largest villages in the area.

Tuzigoot offers a unique glimpse into the ingenuity and daily lives of the Sinagua people, making it a must-visit destination for history and cultural enthusiasts alike.
