Montezuma Well Loop Trail

This trail takes you to the rim of Montezuma Well, a massive collapsed limestone sinkhole. The springs at the bottom of the sinkhole feed a large pond which supports a unique aquatic habitat in this dry landscape. Spur trails off this loop trail allow for exploration of the inside of the well and the outlet of the well along Beaver Creek. There are archaeological sites within Montezuma Well related to the Sinagua culture that built nearby Montezuma Castle. Please treat this site as a museum and leave any artifacts in place to preserve the scientific and archaeological integrity.
