Explore nearby Tonto National Monument.  Established in 1907, it preserves prehistoric cliff dwellings, occupied between 1150 and 1450 AD, and the Salado culture.  Trails lead to the Lower and Upper Cliff Dwellings.  The lower trail is open daily from 8 to 4.  It is a paved one mile round trip trail.  The upper trail, a three mile round trip hike, is open from November to April to guided tours.

There is a visitor's Center with a museum which provides information on the Tonto Basin and the Salado culture.  The Salado built villages throughout the Tonto basin, harvested from the desert, and practiced irrigation farming on the valley floor.  They traded with neighboring cultures.  The villages were abandoned about 500 years ago.
