Today we needed to head up to Flagstaff, so we decided that on the way up, we would stop at a few sites that we always see. First stop: MONTEZUMA'S CASTLE
Ancient Puebloan dwellings in the cliff. When you see it in real life, its kind of curious because it is waaaaaaaaayy up in the cliffs. Makes you wonder how the ancient native Americans got up that high to build a home, or even why?
After walking around the site, we packed up the kids, stopped for a Sonic drink and headed to the next stop: Montezuma's Well
We spent a little more time at this site. I thought it would be a quick stop but it ended up being a little bit of hiking. Montezum'as well we learned is this water source in the middle of nowhere.
We read that at the bottom of this water source were vents that water came through and entered into the water. Also, there are no fish in here, but THOUSANDS of leeches!!
It was fun exploring, but we were ready to go home and rest. It was fun spending time with each other. As we drove we talked about big road trips we want to take soon, exploring this wonderful country.
In the meantime,
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
