Groundwater Study Helps Protect Montezuma Well

Did you know that science isn't dead? Sometimes park rangers have to answer visitors' questions with 'we don't know'.  Sometimes we have to revise what we thought we knew. With help from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) the geology of Montezuma Well has recently been updated.

As water in the desert is invaluable, this study also gives us and our local communities accurate scientific information to know how to balance the requirements of humans and nature.

New Podcast Series from Military Kids!

At our sister site, Tuzigoot National Monument, military kids from across Arizona came to learn about the prehistoric site, gain photography skills and make a podcast.
