Montezuma Castle, Arizona


Montezuma Castle, Arizona, originally uploaded by rob-gizzy.

Here we are in the USA, and our first National park was Montezuma Castle where this cliff dwelling was home to the Sinagua people from 1125 AD. There were ladders that used to go up to the dwellings - but unfortunately visitors are not allowed to climb up anymore so we need to cherish the view from below. Our trip to the States went smoothly, with a 5-hour layover in Houston, TX. Upon arrival in Phoenix where it was 40 degrees Celsius, we picked up our Chevy Impala which drives like a dream and will be our faithful companion during the next 3 weeks!
