Many persons visit here each day. If each will preserve the wild
flowers, and protect the ruins from defacement, Walnut Canyon will
remain a lovely place for future visitors to enjoy. For this reason it
is also asked that picnickers leave a dead fire and a clean camp in the
designated picnic area.
Because the wild animals--Birds, Squirrels, Foxes, Turkeys, etc.--become
tame and trusting in this, their protected refuge, domestic pets should
not be allowed to harm them, and must be kept on leash or in cars.
If you smoke, please be very careful while on the trail.
Your suggestions and cooperation will be sincerely appreciated.
_This National Monument contains 1,642 acres. Most of it is forested
and at times the fire hazard is extreme. Please help us maintain a
record of no serious fires, and LET'S KEEP IT CLEAN._
Walnut Canyon National Monument, a unit of the National Park System, is
one of the 25 National Monuments administered by the General
Superintendent, Southwestern National Monuments, National Park Service,
Department of the Interior, Gila Pueblo, Globe, Arizona.
The traveling public is becoming increasingly aware of the National
Monuments, which have received less publicity than the great, well-known
National Parks, yet which possess extremely interesting features.
Many of these are in the Southwest; we hope you will take the
opportunity to visit one or more of them on your trip.
