About Pipe Spring National Monument

Pipe Spring National Monument protects a spring-fed oasis on the Arizona Strip that has drawn people for centuries. Visitors can tour the museum, a historic fort, cabins, and a living history garden that grows crops the way settlers once did. Living history demonstrations, talks, and ranch animals add to the experience, and a hiking trail climbs toward nearby geologic features. The monument also sits within a designated dark sky area, making it a good place for stargazing.
