Shallow caves, nestled high in canyon walls, shelter cliff dwellings left by people of the Salado culture over 500 years ago. Tonto National Monument, established in 1907, preserves the heritage of these skilled potters and weavers who farmed and foraged for three centuries in Arizona's Tonto Basin. Photos by George H. H.
