The park is easy to find. Tickets to Montezuma and Tuzigoot can get you entrance into the other park. Be sure to dress appropriately if you are visiting in the summer. On the day we visited it was 104°. The trail is paved. The Monument is awesome and well preserved. The story of Montezuma is another chapter in the ancient settlements of the Verde Valley and Red Rock region.

Beautiful Historic place to visit! Newly remodeled walkways to help people with disabilities & benches for everyone to take a break if needed! These views are breathtaking & explanations on boards of information really help bring things into a New Reality! Excellent place to see!

It's a relatively short , paved path loop which passes by the historic hillside interesting plaques. Beautiful sycamore trees! Plenty of shaded benches. Lots of informative plaques, including the medicinal benefits of many plants. Good diorama of the interior of the "castle". Pleasantly surprised at all that was there. Good gift shop!

We really enjoyed our visit to this site because it's amazing to see how the Native American people used to build their homes on the southern side of the cliffs. Visitors cannot walk up to the sites, but its amazing enough as you walk the 3/4 trail to see it. The rangers that work this area are extremely nice, and there are ranger docents stationed at different places to help visitors and relay information about the area and the dwellings. The Sycamore Trees are absolutely beautiful and well cared for, as is the sidewalk and grounds. This location is well visited every day, so make sure you arrive early to get your parking spot. Dogs are allowed on the paved trail only, and they even hand you a "Bark Ranger" flyer for your dog. :-) I highly recommend a visit here if you're in the area. If you do, I also recommend a visit to Montezuma Well and V-V Heritage Site.

No, just a view of. If you get a National Parks Pass, it is good for almost all the National Parks and Monuments. However, if you are not sure you will get the value from it, oay as you go abd save your tickets. If you reach the amount you would have spent on a pass, you can trade the tickets in towards the purchase of a pass. They will honor tickets bought within on year. Dollar for dollar.
