2010 Sedona
While driving from California to Arizona, we stopped for two nights near Sedona. On the day we left, we stopped by Montezuma Well and Castle.

Montezuma Well The day after we hiked and drove around Sedona, we headed South and stopped by Montezuma Well, a natural sinkhole that's constantly fed by underground springs at a lovely 76 F degrees. The 'well' does not support fish, but the water flows out through a 'swallet' and meets up with nearby Beaver Creek. The area includes ruins (can you find them?) built by the Sinagua people that disappeared around 1400 for unknown reasons. The name is a misnomer, as Montezuma (Aztec) never made it this far North, but the people that first named it didn't know that. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by, it's a very cool place with great information.
