Tuzigoot National Monument
near Sedona Arizona Offers a Southwest Sightseeing Adventure

Tuzigoot National Monument Clarkdale Arizona

View of Tuzigoot National Monument as seen from street below.

Standing in the cool, dark confines of a room that was built 1,000 years ago kicks the imagination into high gear. Your common humanity with the people who slept, ate, argued and dreamed in this room surges to the surface of your consciousness, and time seems to simultaneously contract and expand. Tuzigoot National Monument, the ruins of a Sinaguan community just north of Clarkdale off 89A near Sedona, Arizona, offers many opportunities for such transcendent moments and should definitely be part of your Verde Valley adventure.

Tuzigoot National Monument Visitor Center> Tuzigoot Visitor Center & Museum

The onsite museum is an archaeological find in itself.
The impressive collection of stone tools, shell jewelry, pottery shards and other remnants of this ancient culture are still housed in wooden display cases built by the Clarkdale High School woodworking class in 1934, accompanied by hand-painted interpretive materials. Very little of the exhibit seems to have changed since the site was developed in the 1930s as a WPA project, but that’s part of the intrigue of this Verde Valley treasure.


Tuzigoot Trail Start
Walking towards the Monument, a sign reads: "Take Nothing But Pictures...Leave Nothing But Footprints." This also goes for dogs that are allowed a visit, but only on a leash.
