While visiting Sedona, we made a quick trip to see Montezuma Castle National Monument in the Verde Valley. Built by the Sinagua people around 700 years ago, the five story cliff dwelling sits about 70 feet up in a limestone alcove, still remarkably intact after centuries.
You cannot go inside, but visitors can view it from a short path below. Standing there and looking up, the scale and craftsmanship are striking. Seeing it in person makes its age and construction even harder to comprehend.
