Talks and Demonstrations
During the summer months ranger guided walks, talks, and demonstrations of pioneer and Indian crafts and lifeways are offered in the cooler hours of the day.

 

On Your Own
The grounds of the monument can be visited on your own. The East and West Cabins contain exhibits on cowboying and historic preservation. Enjoy pioneer and American Indian crops from the garden during the summer. The orchard contains mostly historic varieties of peach, apple, apricot, plum, and crab-appple trees, as well as grapes. Stop by the corrals and visit the horses and longhorn cattle. A hike on the 1/2 mile long Ridge Trail offers great views of the Arizona Strip.
