The water is still very important to the farmers and businesses down stream even today and feeds into the irrigation ditches.
There are lots of hiking trails around the Montezuma's Well and the Park Staff are very helpful in answering your questions. The Park Staff provides information and will lead you down the narrow path. This is a very easy trail to follow but be careful and watch your children. The safety rails are very rustic and you should watch your footing and keep good tract of your kids. Definitely a great educational experience for the entire family.
Montezuma's Well is a part of the Montezuma Castle National Monument. The area is very beautiful and we explored it during the spring and were able to see all the wild flowers in bloom along the trail to Montezuma's Well. When you are exploring this amazing park you will see some cliff dwellings in the side of the mountain that is close by a variety of archaeological sites. The area was home to many groups of people who used the area for safety, food and shelter. The constant flow of water brings over 1.5 million gallons of water to the well every day.
