High up in the Arizona Strip by the Utah border sits Pipe Spring National Monument - a site of conflict, controversy, and a much-needed natural resource. Once home to the Kaibab Paiute as well as Mormons, this park offers an educational look at history.
Pioneer history exists all across the West and few other sites contrast the differences between cultures such as Pipe Spring National Monument does. On the land flows a spring that provided much-needed water for the native Kaibab Paiute tribe living on the land as well as the Mormon pioneers settling across the area.
The structures at the site have been estimated to have been constructed between 1863 to 1885. Visitors will find Winsor Castle, an old Mormon fort built on top of the spring itself, two smaller cabins, corrals that once contained cattle so important to the Mormon settlers, and the cistern containing water from the spring.
The visitor center provides an educational movie with the history of the two cultures as well as that of the property.
