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 />

hand as a means to provide flood irrigation to<br />

their crops. Learn the importance of water to<br />

these early civilizations. While at one of the<br />

ruin sites, enjoy a picnic with your family at<br />

the very site where they used to grow their<br />

crops.<br />

Jerome was one of the wildest town in<br />

the west. While there, take a stroll down<br />

the historical past of our state as see<br />

you historical building, the “sliding” jail,<br />

and the Gold King Mine Museum.<br />

The Gold King Mine Museum is a<br />

whacky take on museums. For located<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 />

crack open your own geodes, and even<br />
