After absorbing all that Sedona has to offer, we<br />
then head to the ancient Indian ruin sites. There<br />
are literally hundreds of ruins scattered all<br />
around Sedona, many miles deep into the areas<br />
hidden canyons. Depending on the flow of your<br />
day, you have the ability to visit three unique<br />
ruins sites just outside of Sedona. Our personal favorite is Montezuma Well, though we<br />
may also visit Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monument on this tour.<br />
Allow your family to revel as you see what it<br />
was like for early inhabitants to the area we<br />
now know as the Verde Valley make this area<br />

Indian architecture or building styles, each<br />
one unique in it’s own right. See or even walk<br />
through an ancient irrigation canal build by<br />

these early civilizations. While at one of the<br />
ruin sites, enjoy a picnic with your family at<br />

crops.<br />

and the Gold King Mine Museum.<br />
The Gold King Mine Museum is a<br />

within it’s premises are hundreds of<br />
historic vehicles, an old sawmill, places<br />
to pan for gold, feed the farm animals,<br />
