Perched atop a ridge high above the Verde River lies Tuzigoot, the
remnants of one of the largest pueblos built by the Sinagua. Tuzigoot,
an Apache word meaning "crooked water," was built between the period 1100
to 1450 AD and consisted of two-storied and 110 rooms. The structure and
the ruins of other sites in the surrounding area provided shelter for hundreds
of occupants.
