Ernest Gerics At Montezuma Well Near Sedona Arizona
Ernest Gerics, volunteer, greets visitors to Montezuma Well.

Ernest Gerics is a large man, his tall frame filling the window of the cabin that serves as Montezuma Well’s headquarters. He’s a friendly guy, greeting visitors with a smile, pointing out the literature rack, and answering questions.  He volunteers his time and enthusiastically shares his knowledge of the place and its prehistory. I’m interviewing him on a sunny morning, asking my questions in between his greetings to the passersby.

People Admire The View At Montezuma Well Near Sedona Arizona
Visitors standing at the rim of Montezuma Well.

More than one visitor appears confused as they approach the cabin.  Several people have arrived expecting to see Montezuma Castle (a cliff dwelling located at the National Monument several miles further south down the freeway.)  Others have passed through Lake Montezuma on their way to the well – a small rural community with a man-made pond embellishing the golf course. A few visitors have arrived on purpose, but the small parking lot is not full by mid-morning.
