Lush green forests. Snow-capped peaks. Mountain lakes, shimmering streams, wide open wildernesses, canyons, meadows of wildflowers. Arizona is a beautiful state that offers outdoor recreation, opportunities to learn about Native American history and culture, and impressive landscapes.

No other state features such diverse scenic landscape. Mention Arizona, and tourists have instant visions of cactus and hot arid desert including the beautiful Sonoran Desert. It is true the Arizona desert is amazingly beautiful with the most dramatic sunsets in the world.

Montezuma Castle National Monument
Often compared to a high-rise apartment building, Montezuma Castle National Monument features a five-story, 20-room design that's built into the cliffs of central Arizona's Verde Valley. Although the pueblo structures were named after an Aztec emperor, the dwellings were formerly inhabited by the Sinagua Indian Tribe. Visitors can learn more about Sinagua culture at the monument's museum before they trek the area's trails to Montezuma Castle and Montezuma Well. But remember, the monument does not permit entry into the dwellings due to their fragile state.
