Arizona Road Trip - Montezuma Well- National Monument

Everyone needs to plan a Road Trip to Arizona.  There are so many National Parks and National Monuments to explore with the entire family. Arizona always offers some amazing opportunities for the Best Road Trip and you will not be disappointed in Montezuma Well.

 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.

Every Family should take a couple weeks for vacation during spring or summer to experience the beauty and history that Arizona has to offer.  You could spend an entire year in Arizona and never see it all.  I look forward to the next visit to Arizona and Vacation there Again real soon.  Happy Travels

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.

ON A MISSION TO SEE A MISSION - Arizona Road Trip

Arizona has lots to offer for those of you looking for a different type of Road Trip.  You will see some sunsets, Parks, Missions and lots of cactus. 

Rent a car and head on out in search of a few Missions.  We visited Mission San Xavier del Bac and was able to see this beautiful mission from miles away.  It has been known as the White Dove of the Desert.  As you walk around the grounds, you will see different types of Catcus that enhance the beauty of this Church. Mission San Xavier Del BacMission is the oldest intact European Structure that you will find in Arizona.  You can read more about this beautiful Mission at this website.   http://www.sanxaviermission.org/Index.html    Mission San Xavier is just located outside of Tucson about 15 minutes away from Tucson but well worth your trip.    

Tumacacori is a National Historical Park located about one hour out of Tucson.  This mission was established approximately 1691.  It was a beautiful day walking around this well preserved mission.  There was a lady making homemade taco and she does it for donations.  They are very original and she makes them while you wait.  There is plenty of things to keep you busy on your visit.  Hiking down by the river, exploring the museum or just walk around the grounds will give you a wonderful experience for the entire family.
