Start of an 8 day road trip. Wife and I had started doing National Parks, Monuments, etc……and decided to visit this nearby gem as we headed north. We’re both very concerned that the parks may be more difficult to visit in the near future. Spent some time walking through an informative visitor center and then checked out the ruins. The ruins were more extensive than I expected. Crazy to think that was all buried until the 1930. There was a map that seemed to indicate that those kind of ruins are all over the place in the Verde Valley. Afterward drove the area to check out potential trails. There are two river access points near Tuzigoot. One actual has a defined trail called the Verde Greenway that extends to Dead Horse Park. The other seemed to offer a riverside walk use trail. I’ll have to go back and explore. Then we drove out to Parsons Springs TH. Very neat. I didn’t know it was located there until we pulled up to the TH. Also, visited Dead Horse Park to see what they had to offer. Looked like quite a bit, especially with trails. Unfortunately, it is a pay to use area.

Long day, but Tuzigoot was neater than expected and it was exciting to explore potential hiking areas. Tuzigoot was moderately busy. Saw one pronghorn on our drive to Parsons.

Nice day with some cloud cover, comfortable short outing with few others around.

Lunched on Chipotle at the picnic tables (which are super nice and clean), then went on the loop of the ruin.

First stop on our weekend long crawl through central highlands towards the rim. A strong thunderstorm hit earlier in the morning and the clear and crisp weather we arrived to in mid-morning had also attracted the local population, lizards. I couldn’t keep count, but within ~.33 mile and half an hour or so, I easily saw 100 lizards. Ourselves, other tourists and the rangers were all initially intrigued but after a few minutes everyone’s inner herpetophobia started to creep out. Most were common desert lizards, although a few collared lizards and larger ones with tremendous colors came out.

I can see why the lizards claimed it as their domain – the previous Sinaguan domain offers wide-reaching views of encroachments and easy river access. Fun spot to turn off if heading towards Jerome.

Stop one on a tour of Sinagua sites in the Verde Valley. Admission has been raised to $10 and includes access to Montezuma Castle good for seven days. We weren't planning on going there, but we kind of had to knowing that we already paid for it.

Had not been here in 10 plus years. Had some time to kill before my train took off.
I enjoyed all the artifacts on display, and learned the proper pronunciation of Metate.

Dang - this is going to hurt my stats and make me look like a wuss this year, but I stopped by here on the way home from Parson's trail. It is interesting and worth the 20 minutes. As a hike it's a .6 but with the history and stuff - and if you are a photographer and need to bag this one for your trophy rack - it's a 1.6 which rounds to a 2. But make sure you get the entrance sign shot and the approach shot from the road.

Randall is right - this is a family friendly hike to get the kids interested in hiking. It is all on paved paths and has lots of benches on which to rest. Sort of Handicapped accessible if you push the wheelchair. And I ain't no wuss dammit.

Quick visit after backpacking Parson's Spring. Got to listen to one of the Park Rangers talk about the history of this place and his speech has me thinking about visiting some of the surrounding Mesas to look for some ruins. I am surprised at the 1.46 mileage, I would have guessed a 1/4 mile or so but I didn't carry my GPS and perhaps somehow missed a few areas.

I wanted to use this location as a base camp for a Cottonwood/Sedona weekend. It was pretty crowded, but we got a spot in Quail Loop, as the tent camping area was full. After the tents were set up, it was off to Jerome to eat and have a cold one or two. After that a brief visit to nearby Tuzigoot before returning to camp. Wandered around some of the trails in the park, checking out the rental cabins and the Verde. After dark some nearby campers invited us over to look through their telescope, and we enjoyed a beautiful mild evening by the campfire until around 11 o'clock (I finally got to burn that bundle of wood I had been carrying around in the truck since last fall). :)

Saturday night Brittney and I drove up to Sedona for a couple reasons; we wanted to try something "different" for St Patricks day, and to potentially see some snow fall. Since she has never seen snow before, I thought a hike on Sunday sounded like fun. A few flurries would've been fine, but this winter storm dropped roughly 5-6 inches on us before 9am creating a total white out. Instead of trudging through the soggy snow, we drove futher south and visited Tuzigoot for the first time. The scenery was incredible today, just about every where we went had snow on the ground or in the air, and really made this trip memorable.
