The Sandia District Ranger Station and the Friends of Tijeras Pueblo host a very special program for young people interested in archaeology. Bring your kids to the Ranger Station and pick up a special worksheet at the front desk. Have your children complete the worksheet as they take the self-guided tour of the Tijeras Pueblo archaeological site. When you finish the tour, come on back inside and have the folks at the front desk check your answers. HEY KIDS - your special efforts will earn you a great Junior Archaeologist badge and certificate.
