Tuzigoot National Monument
Tuzigoot
A Sinagua stone-built village ruin on a ridge above the Clarkdale area; from the summit you can overlook the Verde Valley.
Tuzigoot is a ridgetop village ruin built by the Sinagua around 1000–1400, occupying a small hill in the Verde Valley. At its peak it had about 110 rooms, two to three stories high. A roughly 0.5 km loop trail circles the site, and you can climb the reconstructed rooftops to look over the valley and wetlands. The museum displays excavated artifacts such as pottery and tools. Admission is about $10 per person, and annual passes are accepted. Located beside Clarkdale, it can be combined with the Verde Canyon Railroad and Jerome for a day trip.
