Montezuma Castle is one of the best preserved Native American cliff dwellings in the US.  Located near Camp Verde, AZ it was built by the Sinagua Indians over 800 years ago.  The “castle” was named by the Spanish after the Aztec ruler Montezuma as they believed he was connected to its construction.

This National Park has some great photography opportunities both of the castle itself and the surrounding Beaver Creek area.  A few miles further North is Montezuma Well, a natural limestone sinkhole.  It is worth the extra 11 mile drive and the short hike down to the well.
