Short hike to 'Montezumas Well' takes 10-15 minutes. Glory be to the heavens. The well suddenly opens up to you. Wonderful, captivating site. Although your not allowed to hike down into the well. From a far is picture perfect especially if you have your camera. Recommend Montezuma's Well short drive up and short hike as well. Worth seeing.

This park is absolutely awesome. One of my favorite ruins that I have seen this far. It is already is a already unique geological land feature with how the water comes in-and-out but the added ruins along the pool's wall are fantastic I highly recommend checking this place out

Don't miss it. Personally, I'd recommend this over Montezuma's Castle, although that is great too. Kids love it. Well is a small lake, fascinating where water comes from. Never low, even in drought. Trail down to lake , and ruins up close and right by the trail! Top side trail continues past lake. Very interesting place! Not wheelchair accessible.

I loved this place. Quick looped-hike where you can see the well and the irrigation system built by the residents a few centuries ago. There is a Park volunteer who will give you information about the place just at the start of the hike.

I hope you get an answer. I wouldn't know. Look at national park open dates online. It may be closed from before Christmas till after the new year.you actually don't have to check in to get to Montezuma's Well. You just walk back behind the little cabin and itnis self guided.
