I recently took a trip up north and visited the Tuzigoot Monument near Cottonwood, Arizona.

The Tuzigoot Monument was a Pueblo ruin that was about 2 to 3 stories at the time of its construction. Believed to have been built between 1125 and 1400 CE by the Sinagua people. This building had few doors and relied heavily on ladders as a means of movement for people. The ladders were attached to trapdoor-like openings in the roofs to enter the rooms.

Discovered during an excavation in 1933-35 by Louis Caywood and Edward of the University of Arizona. It would take another year before the site would be available for public display.

On July 2h 1939, Pres. Franklin Roosevelt designated it as a US National Monument. It would be officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15,1966.

Just history on the place. Beautiful views all around the valley. Below I posted some pictures as I am an amateur Photographer. Enjoy the view and leave a like or comment below.
