Tour #1 All Day Tour: Sedona/Oak Creek Excursion
Tour Date: Wednesday, June 13
Tour Time: 7:30am-5:00pm

The tour will begin by heading north from The Greater Phoenix Area through the Tonto National Forest, stopping at Montezuma’s Castle. Montezuma’s Castle, which is nestled into a limestone recess high above the flood plain of Beaver Creek in the Verde Valley, stands one of the best preserved cliff dwellings in North America. The five-story, 20-room cliff dwelling served as a "high-rise apartment building" for prehistoric Sinagua Indians over 600 years ago. Early settlers to the area assumed that the imposing structure was associated with the Aztec emperor Montezuma, but the castle was abandoned almost a century before Montezuma was born. With heightened concern over vandalism of fragile southwestern prehistoric sites, Montezuma Castle became a major factor in the nation's historic preservation movement with its proclamation as a national monument. The Castle was described in the December 1906 establishment proclamation as "of the greatest ethnological and scientific interest." Acreage: 840.86, federal: 16.83, non-federal.

From there the tour will head into the Red Rock Country of Sedona. Immerse yourself in the splendor of Sedona's red rock country.
