Hi! My name is Kathy and this is my new friend, Gentle Rain. Gentle Rain
and her family used to live in a Mesa Verde cliff dwelling 750 years
ago. She helped me become a Junior Ranger, and now both of us want to
help you.
Becoming a Junior Ranger is fun! As you explore the park, you will learn
about Gentle Rain's culture, look for items her family and friends might
have used, and visit their homes. Just follow our directions and you'll
earn a Mesa Verde Junior Ranger badge in no time!
_To earn your Mesa Verde Junior Ranger badge, just complete the
following steps_:
1. Complete the activity called "Being A Good Steward."
2. Then, complete at least 3 more activities. Once you choose the
activities you want to do, use these special codes to know which
questions to answer for your age group:

Ages 4-7 Ages 8-9 Ages 10-up
3. Once you have finished steps 1 and 2 above, take your booklet to any
