A Discovery Pack and its contents

Check out a Discovery Pack

Become a naturalist for a day. Discovery Packs contain binoculars, a magnifying lens, field guides, sketching materials and more, to help you explore the monument. There's also a Field Journal with activities and places to record your observations. Although designed with families in mind, Discovery Packs can be enjoyed by anyone with a sense of curiosity.

Discovery Packs are for use in all 3 Flagstaff Area National Monuments (Walnut Canyon, Sunset Crater Volcano, and Wupatki). You can borrow one at the visitor center, then return it (at any of the 3 monument visitor centers) at the end of your visit. The Field Journal is yours to keep. There is no charge.
