Pipe Spring National Monument is a place where history, culture, and nature intertwine. Established in 1923, this hidden gem in northern Arizona preserves the rich heritage of the Indigenous Southern Paiute people and the early Mormon pioneers who settled in the region. For centuries, the natural spring at Pipe Spring provided a vital water source for Native American communities, sustaining their way of life in the arid desert. In the 19th century, Mormon settlers built a fortified ranch known as Winsor Castle, using the spring’s water for livestock and agriculture. Today, the monument tells the complex story of survival, adaptation, and conflict over land and resources, offering visitors a glimpse into the resilience of those who called this place home.

As the official nonprofit partner of Zion National Park and Pipe Spring National Monument, our mission extends to preserving the cultural and natural history of Pipe Spring National Monument.

By collaborating with the National Park Service, tribal communities, and dedicated supporters, we help fund projects that restore historic structures, protect fragile desert ecosystems, and enhance visitor experiences. Our goal is to honor the deep-rooted connections between people and the land while safeguarding the monument’s unique history and environment.

Pipe Spring is more than just a historical site—it is a living testament to the diverse cultures and traditions that shaped the American Southwest. By promoting stewardship, sustainability, and education, we strive to protect this sacred place and its natural resources. Whether through preserving historic artifacts, supporting cultural exchange programs, or ensuring water conservation in this arid landscape, our work helps keep the spirit of Pipe Spring alive. With continued support, we can ensure that this monument remains a place of learning, reflection, and inspiration for all who visit.
