Day 4, Saturday, May 11, 2024. Today we visited Tuzigoot National Monument. We took the 1/3-mile trail that takes you around the Tuzigoot pueblo. This was a 110-room village built around 1000 years ago. You also have beautiful views of the Verde River and the Tavasci Marsh.
Next, we drove to the Honanki Heritage Site. This site has well preserved cliff dwellings and rock art. The Sinagua people lived here where they hunted for deer and rabbit and also raised various crops
Day 5, Sunday, May 12, 2024. We drove to the Crane Petroglyph and Historic V Bar V Ranch. The Crane Petroglyph Site features over 1,000 petroglyphs that were carved into the rock by the Sinagua people over 600 years ago. The petroglyphs feature animals, people and geometric shapes. The site was once part of the V Bar V ranch that was established in 1927. The only thing that remains of the ranch is a chimney and garage.
We then drove to several sites for Jay to do some hiking.
Day 6, Monday, May 13, 2024. today we drove to the Grand Canyon. It is a 2-hour 20-minute drive. The first part of the drive is veery pretty as the road twists and turns through the mountains. We decided to enter the park through the East entrance. There was not a line to enter and then we drove toward the South entrance. we stopped at the various viewpoints along the way. The Grand Canyon is always very pretty.
We then drove back to Sedona. We stopped in Uptown Sedona and did some shopping and ate dinner before heading back to our condo.
