9. Tuzigoot National Monument

CLARKDALE.   This pueblo compound of the Sinagua Indians was occupied during their heyday, which was roughly from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Originally rising to three stories in some places and encompassing 70-plus rooms, the village sheltered approximately 150 people. Today, excepting a reconstructed room, much of the compound is in ruins. Still, it offers an intriguing look at Arizona's past cultures and affords views from all directions, thanks to a hilltop location. A few trails in the vicinity and a visitors center with excavated and retrieved items are also available.   (© 10Best)
