Ancient ruins aren’t difficult to find here in Arizona, but they aren’t always extremely well-preserved. Tonto National Monument in Roosevelt is somewhat of a rarity, remaining surprisingly intact despite being abandoned 700 years ago. Consisting of 40 rooms, this archaeological site is truly incredible to visit.
