This is one of those national monuments you don't hear much about, but is worth the stop in here, the staff is super friendly and willing to show you anything around the place, we got there early and they were feeding the livestock which was really neat, then opened up the fort really before the official opening time and showed us around, a lot of history here and they have done a great job of making the place look just as it did back in the day, garden growing and everything. All period furnishings in the main building, very neat to see how life was back then. They have done a great job of preserving history here, well worth the short trip from Kanab over here to see this!!

We were driving past and we stopped by in the rain right before closing, but the staff gave us a quick run down and let us walk out to the cabin. I liked learning more about the native people's point of view, and the history of the war. I would have liked to stay and experience a tour, but we were on a tight schedule. If you have a pass, worth the stop. If not, $5 per person.

The National Park Service does a great job telling the story of Pipe Spring National Monument from the perspective of the Native Americans, and Mormon settlers. Be sure to watch the film at the visitor center which tells the history of the monument, and take the tour at the fort. We enjoyed walking around the property and taking in the beautiful vistas. We visited in the middle of the week in March, so the interactive demonstrations weren't available. However, we spent 2 1/2 hours. In the right season, one could spend the whole day here.

This my be the smallest National Monument we be to. I was informative however. Originally it was a pioneer fort.

On the way home from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon we saw signs for this National Monument and decided to stop and check it out. It is small, but nice. Took the informative tour. Originally it was a pioneer fort used by the Mormons. The tours happen about every half hour. Restrooms are clean and I enjoy shopping in the gift shop. Nice little museum too.

What a great place, we were on our way from the North Rim Grand Canyon to Las Vegas to catch our flight back home. Since we had some time, I said lets stop by and check out this place. Wow, there is a lot of rich history to learn here. My kids ages 5 and 6 were entertained by the tour outside as well as the animals and exhibits to the interactions they had with the Ranger inside showing them how to sew with an old singer sewing machine and stitching a quilt as well. We must have stayed about 2 hours and I could have stayed longer soaking up all the interesting information and getting additional information from the 2 Rangers working at the front desk which one happen to be a member of the Kaibab Paiute Indians were the spring is located. The Ranger that was doing the tour was very informative, especially about the Mormons and the American Indians who have history in the area. You won't be disappointed in going to see this place.

Cathy the Park Service person there, was most informative and knowledgeable. What an amazing place to see an interesting story. See how multiple families lived in the "castle" and imagine what a day in the life of the inhabitants of this land before and after the castle would have been like. The staff at the entrance are friendly, informative and helpful. So glad we stopped and went to see this. If you like history , and culture and the ways of life of people in history this is a must see and well worth the drive.

not a big place but has a good history about the indians and mormons. they conduct tours several times per day and talk about the historical happenings. there is a 1 mile trail which gives you a good view of the plains. they have an orchard where you can pick apples and a garden where you can take what is ripe. there are two texas longhorns that have "long" horns as expected. you can get as close as you want.

This was an interesting leg stretching stop on our way from Kanab to Las Vegas. Pipe Spring is located on the Paiute reservation and was used by the Paiutes for generations before it was claimed by the LDS Church and was developed as a tithing ranch, telegraph relay station and fort. Rather than money, church members often paid their tithes in cattle, sheep and various wares. These tithes were sent to the ranch where the titles were managed for the Church's use. Great quantities of butter and cheese were made here and sold in the neighboring communities. There is a museum displaying various items used by the Morman's as well as the earlier inhabitants of the area. Be sure to watch the 25 minute film. There is a 30 minute tour of the historic fort known as Winsor Castle. We had an excellent guide who is a Paiute tribal elder and grew up in the area. This has not only given him a great passion for the area, it has also given him a unique historical vantage point, combining scholarly research and a multigenerational family history. His knowledge of the region, as well as the cultural clashes between the Paiute's, Morman's and U.S government goes well beyond that of the spring. We were fortunate to have Benjamin as our guide.Additionally, there is a ½ mile Ridge Trail walk that takes you to an overlook for a view of the Fort and the Arizona Strip. On the day we were there it was windy and cold. We will save the ridge walk for the next time we are in the area and the weather is better.
