We were able to park on the street for free, but there is also areas to pay for parking. We spent a few hours walling the town, going in and out of shops, galleries and wineries. Many of the buildings had plaques stating what the building was in the past. A nice way to learn about the history of the town. The views of the Sedona's Red Rock , Verde Valley and the San Francisco Peaks were beautiful. Worth spending a few hours visiting.

This is a neat national monument - expect to spend 1-2 hours here exploring the visitor center and…read morewalking up to the pueblo structure. The visitor center has a lot of artifacts and information about the history of the area and how it was excavated, as well as how the name came to be. It's a Tonto Apache term for "crooked waters," from nearby Pecks Lake. There's also a gift shop with the usual assortment of NPS offerings. Out off to the side of the visitor center is a paved pathway to the 2- to 3-story pueblo. You can even climb up to the top of a reconstructed room to view the area. It's impressive in size - Tuzigoot is the largest and best preserved of the many Sinagua pueblo structures. There was a volunteer out in the structure to answer any questions one may have - very nice touch. I saw a deer wandering out in the marsh vegetation and a lot of birds flying around.

I would recommend a tour for more information if you can get one. I just walked around and explored, but would have gotten more history with a guide. There is a small gift shop and museum to check out as well. If you are there around lunch time, there are picnic benches available to sit on if it's not too hot! Overall, it's a great stop if you like history!

We happened upon a fabulous history guide upon walking in. A 50+ year native called us to the front porch of the Douglas mansion (which sits upon some of the mine tunnels!) and delighted us with a passionate 30 minute jam packed history. Not sure if this is a daily event, but I know we were extremely lucky to hear this talk. I cannot wait to go back and learn more.

There's no entrance fee, but there's a small ranger station at the trailhead and a very enthusiastic volunteer who gave as an orientation speech of the human history of the area and the geology of the area. Without him, the visit would have been less impressive. The water in the sinkhole contains high levels of arsenic and carbon dioxide, so no fish are in the water...but don't worry there are plenty of leeches! Don't enter the water because of that, and also because you do not want to disturb the five species endemic to this spot of water. They're found nowhere else. Interestingly enough, there's near-constant volume of spring water even in times of severe drought, which would have seemed miraculous to the people who lived here. If you look from the rim, you can see several prehistoric dwellings right under the rim on the other side. Hiking down gets you close to more dwellings. Well worth a trip, especially as it's less crowded than the Castle.

As you enter town, the first thing you will notice are the red rocks surrounding formations. They will take your breath away. There are many galleries to wander in and out of. Have a tarot reading and find out what you have in store for your future. If you want to see and travel about, think about a Pink Jeep tour. A guide will take you off the beaten path maybe to Oak Creek Canyon and various hiking areas. Plenty of places to eat, shop, hike and enjoy. The weather is cooler there too where elevation is 4,300'. I've always thought that Sedona was a warm up session for Monument Valley. It is red rock formation glorified!

There are many tour companies offers many types of tours. There are a LOT of great restaurants and great food. The not so good: parking is a real pain, especially at the trailhead. You are left hiking extra MILES or waiting 30-90 minutes for a bus to get you to the trailhead. E-bikes - leave them home unless you want to ride the roads with traffic (they do have bike lanes but there are tons of round a bouts you need to navigate on the sidewalks/cross walk). There are no regular bike trails to be found. Instead, bring the motorcycle or side by side. Again, there are is plenty of good food, but this is a tourist area so bring plenty of money also.
