How to Visit Montezuma Castle
Welcome to Montezuma Castle! This is a very old home in the high cliffs.
People lived here a long time ago. They were the Sinagua people.
We must keep this special place safe. Here are some easy rules to follow.
Please read them before you walk.
Rule 1: Stay on the paved trail. Do not walk on the dirt or rocks.
Staying on the path keeps the plants safe. It also keeps you safe from cactus thorns.
Rule 2: Look with your eyes, not your hands. The castle walls are very old and fragile.
If we touch them, they can break. We want them to last for a long time.
Rule 3: Use quiet voices. Many birds and animals live in the trees here.
Loud noises can scare them away. Whispering helps everyone enjoy the peace.
Rule 4: Keep the park clean. Put all of your trash in the bins.
Do not feed the wild animals. Our food can make them sick.
Thank you for being a helper today! Have fun looking up at the amazing castle.
