Tuzigoot

Today I visited the pueblo ruin Tuzigoot, located on a hill about 20 miles west of Sedona, and which is a national monument.  Like other sites I've recently seen, it was built by the Sinagua people.  A short walkway leads uphill and southward from the visitor center and to the remains of a relatively small building that appears to have had seven rooms.

Here's part of the first building seen from a different angle.  Note the informational display on the right.

The walkway continues up to the main ruin, which includes these walls on its east side and an upper tower.

Here is the main ruin with its tower from a different angle.

These rooms form the southernmost part of the main ruin.

The tower is accessible by a walkway that goes into the ruin and then up a flight of stairs.  Here's the view south from the tower.

The view north from the tower shows the visitor center and the parking lot.

After coming back down, I decided to take one last shot of the tower.  You can see the modern railing toward the left.
