This attraction was amazing. It's hard to believe ancient people could build this engineering feat. One of the best parts of this site is that they have most of it paved so that wheelchairs and walkers can negotiate the path. There are very interesting information boards along the way. We were lucky enough to meet a very knowledgeable docent as... More

The national monument was very interesting. The setting was shady and relaxing. The ranger was informative. He definitely got you to thinking how the ancient people lived life in the harsh desert. It really was one of my favorite sights this trip.

Just a couple miles off I-17 between Sedona and Phoenix, this is the best preserved Indian cliff dwelling in the SW. It's just a short stroll on a paved path from the visitor center and the ranger did a great job explaining and answering our questions.

It looks exactly like all the pictures. Nothing too breathtaking, although it is in pretty good shape. There is only the one structure here, unlike other areas with cliff dwellings. The rangers here were very friendly!

Definitely worth a visit. This was my second time. A park volunteer added some background which enhanced the experience. It feels very tranquil to me in the canyon.

If you make the drive out to the castle thinking you will be able to walk around in it and touch the surfaces, walls and floors, then you will likely be disappointed. I applaud AZ tourism for realizing that allowing such interaction would have destroyed it many years ago. Now, if you are capable of wrapping your head around the... More

This National Monument is a gem tucked back in the cliff! The loop is fairly level, short and shady - the reward is great. The gift shop is small and adequate~ The parking lot isn't large but there is no reason to stay hours and hours so it all works. I would go out of my way to visit this... More

Even though I can't rate Montezuma Castle as "Good" (above Average but not quite Very Good), it is worth a stop if you're willing to make the drive. Parking is free but there is a $5.00 admission (for single adult) to go see the monument. You walk a short distance from the center/gift shop area and will see the monument... More

I do not understand some of the criticism here. Of course, there is nothing more to see here than you can see on pictures online, but isn't that the same with almost all historic sites? Furthermore, you have to understand that his place is over 800 years old, so they can't let a ton of tourists actually walk into the... More
