Eight centuries of history in a single private day
Travel deep into Northern Arizona's past on a private tour of four remarkable national monuments. Stand beneath Montezuma Castle, a twenty-room cliff dwelling built into a limestone alcove some 800 years ago by the Sinagua people. Walk to the hilltop pueblo Tuzigoot with sweeping views across the Verde Valley.
Continue to Wupatki, where red-sandstone ancestral Pueblo homes sit on the edge of the Painted Desert, and finish at Sunset Crater Volcano, a stark lava-flow landscape left by an eruption around 1100 CE. Your private guide narrates the geology, history, and Native cultures throughout, with door-to-door hotel pick-up and all monument entry fees included.
