The National Park Service Junior Ranger program, developed in the early 1960s, has since grown to serve nearly 330,000 children annually in 286 Parks.

Junior Ranger booklets are available free of charge for children up to 14 years of age. By completing the activities in the booklet and reciting the Junior Ranger Pledge, kids are awarded a special badge that identifies them as official Junior Rangers for both Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments.

Be sure to ask a park ranger at the Montezuma Castle and Montezuma Well visitor centers for further details on the program and to receive your free booklet.

A national online Junior Ranger program, called Web Rangers, is available to people of any age at www.nps.gov/webrangers/

Sunset Crater  

Did You Know?
The Sinagua people witnessed the most recent volcanic eruption of Sunset Crater along the eastern slope of the San Francisco Peaks. In 1064 A.D. Sunset Crater erupted and then flared up intermittently for nearly 200 years, spreading half a billion tons of ash across 800 square miles.
