	Arizona - Tuzigoot National Monument
		Montezuma Castle National Monument (20 miles) - impressive Indian cliff dwelling
		Tuzigoot is a small National Monument, one of several sites near Flagstaff where the remains of dwellings of the 12th century Sinagua Indians are preserved.
		Unlike the single cliff house of Montezuma Castle to the southeast, Tuzigoot is a cluster of buildings on top of a small ridge close to the Verde River valley, near the towns of Clarkdale and Cottonwood.

	Arizona - Tonto National Monument
		Montezuma Castle National Monument, Arizona - ancient dwelling built high in a sandstone cliff alcove
		Tonto National Monument consists of the ruins of two cliff dwellings established by the Salado Indians in about 1300 AD.
		The southeast-facing settlements were built quite high up a steep hillside within well-protected natural caves overlooking the Tonto Basin, which is now flooded forming Theodore Roosevelt Lake - originally the Salt River flowed through the Basin which was therefore well irrigated and fertile.

	New Mexico - Aztec Ruins National Monument
		Like Montezuma Castle in Arizona, the Aztec Ruins were mistakenly thought by early white explorers to be relics of the great 15th century central Mexican civilisation though as with most other ancient settlements of the Southwest they actually date from around the 12th century and were built by tribes indigenous to this region.
		Location: The monument is just 2 miles from the centre of Aztec, a bustling town near Farmington in the far northwest of New Mexico, and close to the busy US 550 that leads to Durango in Colorado.
		The village became ruined, slowly covered by the desert sands and remained unvisited until the mid nineteenth century - the first known rediscovery was in 1859.

	Walnut Canyon National Monument Museum/Attraction Review Flagstaff Frommers.com
		These cliff dwellings, though not nearly as impressive as those at Montezuma Castle National Monument (50 miles to the south) or Wupatki National Monument (20 miles to the north), are worth a visit for the chance to poke around inside the well-preserved rooms, which were well protected from the elements (and from enemies).
		The Sinagua were the same people who built and then abandoned the stone pueblos found in Wupatki National Monument.
		A self-guided trail leads from the visitor center on the canyon rim down 185 feet to a section of the canyon wall where 25 cliff dwellings can be viewed up close (some can even be entered).

	Arizona - Casa Grande Ruins National Monument
		Casa Grande Ruins National Monument contains an imposing 4-storey building dating from the late Hohokam period, probably 14th century and contemporary with other preserved ruins in Arizona such as the Tonto and Montezuma Castle Monuments.
		It is believed that the Casa Grande was a kind of astronomical observatory as the four walls face the points of the compass, and some of the windows are aligned to the positions of the sun and moon at specific times.
		A door at the back of the centre leads to the Casa Grande itself, at the middle of a rectangular area that used to be a walled compound containing several other smaller buildings.
