This cliff dwelling was built high above the Beaver Creek. It is not known why these people built these homes this way.
this dwelling held 35 people
limestone cliffs
Beaver River
a larger dwelling was built here but after a fire all that remains
are rubble and the foundations of some of the buildings
Arizona Sycamore tree used for roof poles
natural caves used for storing various products
some remaining foundations
The Sinagua people farmed and lived in this region for 300 years and then mysteriously began to leave. There is no written word of the lives of these people so we can only hazard a guess as to what happened to this culture.
