Tuzigoot National Monument
Tuzigoot National Monument preserves a pueblo ruin on the summit of a ridge just outside of Cottonwood, Arizona. I’d like to share a story about the hike to the ruin, but it was a 0.3 mile paved trail so nothing much happened other than one foot stepped in front of another a few times. I snapped a few photos, bought by obligatory lapel pin and sticker for Big Blue’s rear window, and was back out of the park within 20 minutes of arriving. Tuzigoot is my 63rd National Park visited since I started traveling in 2010.
