place; get yourself into a kayak and hit Wet Beaver Creek. Fun activities are plentiful; there's always something for everyone. It's a popular place to travel to for the inhabitants of Camp Verde.
Crowning a desert hilltop is an ancient pueblo. From a roof top a child
scans the desert landscape for the arrival of traders, who are due any day now. What riches will they bring? What stories will they tell? Will all of them return? From the top of the Tuzigoot Pueblo it is easy to imagine such an important moment. Tuzigoot is an ancient village
or pueblo built by a culture known as the Sinagua. The pueblo consisted of 110 rooms including second and third story structures. The first buildings were built around A.D. 1000. The Sinagua were agriculturalists with trade connections that spanned hundreds of miles. The people
left the area around 1400. The site is currently comprised of 42 acres. CONTACTS Email - MOCA_Administration@nps.gov Fax- 928-567-3597 Write to Tuzigoot National Monument Tuzigoot
