Become a Junior Ranger

Jr. Ranger logoIf you're between ages 6–12, you can become a Junior Ranger at Homolovi State Park! Pledge to do your part to help preserve the beauty of the park for everyone to enjoy!

On this page, you can download a Junior Ranger activity for this park that you can complete on your own. It's just one of the fun activities you can do to become a Junior Ranger. After you complete it, bring it with you to the park and you're on your way to becoming a Junior Ranger.

When you visit the park ask for a full Junior Ranger booklet at the Visitor Center, Ranger Station or office. Complete the activities during your visit and then bring it to a Park Ranger for review. When a Park Ranger approves your work you'll be asked to take the Junior Ranger Pledge and get sworn in as our newest Junior Ranger. You'll also be given a Junior Ranger Button. We hope to see you at the park!

Activity Sheet Summary

Flagstaff Obsidian Run: The Homolovi people walked great distances to find necessities such as obsidian for projectile points. They traded cotton for this volcanic glass and other needed resources. Follow their trade route as you make the “Obsidian Run”. How To Play: Each player needs a marker. A small rock or stick will do. Flip a coin to move your marker. Heads move three blocks and tails one block. To win, be the first one back home to Homolovi.
