Tuzigoot National Monument
Be A Junior Ranger

The Junior Ranger program at Montezuma Castle & Tuzigoot National Monuments is intended to help our young visitors be more aware of the surroundings and the relationship of the environment to the prehistoric people who inhabited the Verde Valley. Our new Junior Ranger Book can be picked up and subsequently reviewed by a ranger at any of the three Verde Valley Monuments. 

Completing the book takes a lot of work but the rewards are tremendous. Not only will Junior Rangers learn about all of the resources found in the monuments, they revieve an official Junior Ranger Badge and Certificate upon completion.

A PDF copy of our Junior Ranger book can be viewed and downloaded by clicking the image to the right. 

Special Note: There is no age limit to become a Junior Ranger. That means everyone is eligible to become an official Junior Ranger as long as they do the work and earn it! 

Stone ax  

Did You Know?
All the timbers used for support beams in the roofs of Tuzigoot National Monument were cut with stone axes. Today you can see ax heads and even the cut end of a beam, centuries old, in our museum.
