ADDITIONAL POINTS OF INTEREST
This region is one of the most interesting archeological and scenic localities in the United States. Sunset Crater National Monument is 18 miles (29km) south of Wupatki National Monument, and was the source of the black volcanic ash which had such profound effect on the prehistoric farmers. Twenty-one miles (34km) farther south is Walnut Canyon National Monument, a beautiful canyon and rim setting for hundreds of ruined homes of prehistoric Indians who also were influenced by Sunset Crater’s ash. Even farther south, in the Verde Valley, noted as Great Drought refugee areas, are Tuzigoot and Montezuma Castle National Monuments (the latter including Montezuma Well.)
CONSERVATION—YOU CAN HELP
If you are interested in the work of the National Park Service and in the cause of conservation in general, you can give active expression of this interest, and lend support by alining yourself with one of the numerous conservation organizations which act as spokesmen for those who wish our scenic heritage to be kept unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.
Names and addresses of conservation organizations may be obtained from the ranger.
