Montazuma Well a unit of Montezuma Castle National Monument, is a place like no other in the world. This unique geologic feature is located 11 miles from Montezuma Castle and is home to species of animals found nowhere else on the planet. Take your time as you wander the trails exploring pre-historic Sinaguan cliff dwellings, pueblo ruins, and a 1,000 year old irrigation ditch that still in use by local residents today!
Of all the places (including the Grand Canyon) we found this site to be of the most interest! When you stand in this location and imagine day's gone by your imagination can really run wild. The beauty and tranquility of the well site is beyond description. I must admit, we arrived just as the site opened first thing in the morning and we were the only visitors there. That may have contributed to the visit and the tranquility.
It is my hope the photos will do it some justice.
First the Description and History:

All comments welcome. Next post Verde Canyon Ruins.
if you have one of the old 3d viewers, will it work to see the photos on the computer screen or do they have to be printed out first? my eyes are complaining of all this crossing :)
ReplyDeleteSimple answer is no.
ReplyDeleteThese photos have in what they call "Cross-Eye" viewing method.
What you would need for the viewers is "Parallel" viewing method. This is accomplished by switching the photos around.
Next problem... In order to get a good quality copy for your viewer you would need MUCH larger photos than I have posted on the blog.
Contact me directly and I would be happy to send you the original photo but it is BIG.
