Today, we’re heading to the upper midwest to explore Pipestone National Monument in southwest Minnesota.  We explore the natural beauty of the area, learning about the formation and geological history, its Indigenous heritage, the diverse plants and animals that inhabit the area, the park's establishment, how to access the park, and work through a Junior Ranger activity together. 

Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature.  The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids; it's for the young, and the young at heart!
