Open All Year
Overview. The Sinagua Indians began building this pueblo in the early part of the 10th century. By A.D. 1400, the structure was two stories high and contained 110 rooms. Excavations of the site yielded a treasure trove of artifacts: tools, shards of pottery, exquisitely crafted jewelry of shells and turquoise. The Sinaguan culture thrived for 400 years or more at this site, which overlooks the Verde River. Then it vanished, its fate a mystery to modern archaeologists. What to see and do. The visitor center houses an impressive collection of artifacts recovered from the site, and its interpretive displays chronicle the long history of this Sinaguan farming village. Follow the self-guided loop trail to the ruins. Interpretive signs along the quarter-mile walk offer added information about the history of the region. Located 65 miles south of Flagstaff, the visitor center is open from 8 AM to 7 PM in the summer; it closes at 5 PM in the winter. The monument is open year-round, except for Christmas Day. Picnic and camping facilities are available at Dead Horse Ranch State Park, three miles from Tuzigoot.
