If you’ve traveled all across America you’ve guaranteed seen some amazing things, but one of the most memorable things that many people go to Arizona to see is the Montezuma Castle National Monument. It’s rare to see such things throughout America, but Arizona is the home of one of the most amazing castles around.

For those of you who have yet to go here, Montezuma Castle National Monument is a structure craved into a cliff in the Verde Valley that the Sinaqua tribe built hundreds of years ago. The tribe lived in amongst the cliff in the dwellings that they created, having over 20 rooms for everyone to live throughout.

Over the years the tribe relocated to somewhere different, which is still unknown and left Montezuma Castle for people of the world to experience. The Montezuma Castle National Monument is open year round for the public to see, but there isn’t any lodging or camping options available. If people want to stay near the Montezuma Castle National Monument they do have motel options in Camp Verde Arizona and also Sedona which is only 30 miles away.

Visiting the Montezuma Castle National Monument is a great cultural experience for the entire family, and it can really open your eyes to the greatness of life many years ago. This is one monument that took a lot of work and risked many lives in the creation many years ago that deserves being seen by the world.

In amongst the Grand Canyon, the Bryce Canyon and the Arches National Park sits the Colorado National Monument. Located only 12 miles away from the Grand Junction you will have the ability to experience one of the many great wonders of the world.

The Colorado National Monument is apart of the Colorado Plateau with the sheer walled canyons, unusual rock formations, fossils of dinosaurs, towering monoliths and many remains of prehistoric Indian cultures. The land reflects the history and environment perfectly, especially with the colorful sandstones everywhere you look.

There are many things you can do here, especially hiking and camping. Throughout the summer time there is designated campfire programs and people are able to travel here all year long, 24 hours a day.

John Otto, a man who lived on and off of the monument for almost 30 years helped preserve the Colorado National Monument as much as he could and in 1911 it became official that it was now a national monument. He started camping out at the canyon back in 1906 and after 5 years it finally became a place that would never be touched or harmed.

The Colorado National Monument is something that you should take the time to see if you are traveling through or near Colorado. The beauty surrounding it and the many other great findings in the Colorado Plateau make it a great escape from the real world. Take a hike through the trails or plan a weekend away with the family, there is much to do while experiencing the Colorado National Monument.
