That's right, Tuzigoot, Clarksdale, Cottonwood, Jerome, & Sedona all Rock! Literally & figuratively, this place rocks. Red rocks actually. Sedona bills itself as the most beautiful place in America and they just might be understating their case. Sedona and the surrounding area has some of the most beautiful red rock formations you will find anywhere.After breakfast we went straight to Tuzigoot National Monument. Don't you just love that name?
Tuzigoot. Tuzigoot. Tuzigoot.
The remains at Tuzigoot, excavated in the early 1930's, are one of the few ruins in the area that allow you to explore in detail. You are free to explore as long as you stay off the walls and on the path. Once home to ~ 225 Native Americans, they disappeared in the 1400's and to this day, no one knows why. Drought, plague, crop failures, inter-tribe warring? No one knows for sure. It happened throughout the Southwest.
Afterwards we explored the shops in the small town of Cottonwood. Lots of
fun eclectic stores, galleries and boutiques.
All in all a beautiful day in a beautiful part of the USA.
See Ya!
