    Need your national park pass OR entry fee by credit card, no cash
    The walk outside had some shade but it only takes a few minutes, maybe 1/2 hour to walk the loop. Hour if you read everything like I do.
    Inside the museum has some displays and interesting info.

    Best way to experience the park is with a sleep out. It's well put together. You pick your spot and stay the night. You can bring whatever sleeping gear you want. I chose to sleep out in my sleeping bag. You can wander the park from the time you arrive till the next day. All the animals seem to be alert as the sun rises. It's very peaceful and a good opportunity to enjoy the park without the daily crowds. No shuttles, just you and the animals

    Such a wonderful hidden gem. My family loved the whole experience from start to finish. The rangers, Sheila and Rick, really made the whole tour extra special! Will come again.

    A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. Our docent guide, Ed, was excellent, as were the exhibits.

    This place is amazing! The views are spectacular. Definitely worth the drive in...with a Jeep it took about 45 minutes from the Camp Verde entrance. Lots of washboarding.
    April to October you need a permit due to the limited number of parking spaces.

    We always wait with baited breath for the Hauser&Hauser shed to open for the season. Buy corn straight from the field. It's the small, white and pale yellow variety. SO good! My mouth waters at the thought!

    The casino is small but the machines are pretty lose. I played for about 6 hours and came out ahead. The smoking section is in a separate room. Nice place to visit. Start away from the buffet.

    This is a nice, very small, free museum (and visitor center). The museum is mostly one small room but has some nice things and a small mineral display in another room. The lady manning it was extremely nice and helpful.

    The host was very friendly and didn’t rush us at all. It was a last minute stop and so glad we got off the road before going to Sedona. The wines are drier but delicious. We had a very pleasant experience.

    Really cool stuff and the store is huge! My family and I stopped in to check it out but I started off a little nervous because I have young kids. The people working were possibly the owners and they were super nice! Welcoming of even hyperactive children. My kids stayed calm enough for us to browse the entire store and I couldn’t believe how large it was. It was like a maze through different eras of antiques. Super cool!

    Lovely tasting experience here, delightful hostess and owner. Worth a stop, reasonable $10 fee . Cheese plate looked yummy but they ran out, order ahead.

    (Based on a visit two years ago.) Bill Staltari is one of the founders of Arizona’s modern wine industry. His father was a fourth generation Calabrese winemaker who immigrated to Brooklyn and taught Bill the art that Bill eventually brought to Arizona. He planted his vineyards in the Camp Verde area in 1978 and began producing wine in 1980. A keepsake he gave us is a slick three-fold flier from goodness knows what year, advertising Arizona’s wine industry by illustrating the state’s four wineries of the time, including San Dominique – the only one of the four in northern Arizona.

    A former chef, he has a keen sense of flavor: We tasted some of his cooking and many of his wines, and his skill at flavor-blending is not to be underestimated. See, Bill does not believe, as many do, that winemaking ultimately happens in the vineyard. He’s a chef at heart, and he is quite firm that it’s all about what happens in the blending. We tasted his fine wines, his artistic wines, and some that he blended for contemporary Millennial Generation tastes, plus some eccentric flavor wines such as his Hot Pepper Wine (Chenin Blanc, Columbard, and hot chilies, made to be served very cold with Greek, Spanish, or Italian foods). In every category, there was rare flavor skill.

    Oh, and he sells garlic and garlic products, especially sauces and pastes. He’s quoted as saying, “Garlic is the way to heaven,” though he didn’t get around to saying that to us.

    Bill probably isn’t for everyone, and he’ll be the first to say so. If you want a slick tasting room, you won’t find it. He is literally off the beaten track (though there is an excellent dirt road leading up to his place). Pull up, ring the big bell outside to let him know he has a visitor, and walk into a vault of 35 years of wine making and southern Italian cuisine.

    We brought home three of his wines. The best of these was a Sauvignon Blanc, non-vintage but several years in the bottle. It more resembled Bordeaux examples, with a soft, almost creamy feel, gently lemony, grassy, and with a proper garnish of pipi du chat; with sufficient acids to excite the palate while avoiding the snappy, extra crisp style of most California Sauvignon Blanc. We also bought his 1998 and 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, both with vivid cherry and dark berry fruit and the accent peppers one finds in most Cabs that aren’t from Napa. Both were still fresh, bright wines, but, while the ’98 had started to turn quiet, the 10-year-old ’05 was nearly perfect.
