Junior Ranger Program
The National Park Service is recruiting Junior Rangers. It is easy to earn your badge. It just takes a little time. Ask at the Visitor Center for a Junior Ranger booklet. Complete it, hand it in to a ranger to check it, and receive your badge! We are always happy to have new Junior Rangers join our staff!

WebRanger Program
Become a WebRanger. Now you can have fun and learn about national parks even if you are not able to visit a park right now.

Did You Know?
In 1915 a spur road to what is now Walnut Canyon National Monument was designated part of the National Old Trails Highway, also known as the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway, which stretched for 3,095 miles across the US. Walnut Canyon became a short detour from this major transcontinental route.
