Just down the road about 10 miles is Montezuma's Well -- I think Darrel and I enjoyed this monument more than the Castle but they both were very interesting. Check out the link for more information on this landmark. The Well is free admittance but there was a Ranger on site, assuring us visitors that we would be found the "next morning" if we didn't make it back --- LOL
You have quite the hike up to see the Well -- we found lots of ducks swimming around.
From a distance you could see the mountain ridge.
The walls are very steep around the "watering hole"
As you walk the path around the area, there is an irrigation ditch that allows water out of the well into a nearby creek.
We were able to walk quite a ways into the irrigation ditch and saw even bigger Sycamore trees near Beaver Creek.
Waterfall up the way
We were able to walk down to the bottom of the edge of the Well. Behind me you can see cliff dwellings they used in this area, just above the rim of the Well.
The weather was perfect, just warm enough but not too hot. We plan to visit the next monument that is near Jerome to check out its history!
Thanks for reading,
Love,
Susan & Darrel
