Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot are just two of these sites. Now that you are an official Junior Park Ranger we hope that you will continue to help us protect these special places so that others who come after you may enjoy them also. As a Junior Park Ranger your duties are: —To help keep your parks clean! Do not litter. If you find any litter, help out by putting it in a trash container. —To learn more about your parks! Information can be found in visitor centers and museums. You may also ask the Park Rangers questions. Be sure to share your new knowledge with friends when you get home. —To obey all rules and signs! Rules in the parks are for your safety and also to protect the resources. Please stay on the trails.
