Casa Malpais
Casa Malpais is an ancient pueblo from the Mogollon Culture which was built and occupied between 1250 and 1340 AD. The site contains exciting discoveries including a Great Kiva, solar calendar, 50-60 room pueblo remains, and an ancient staircase that, when ascended, takes you up on the rim of a shield volcano that created the lava flow the site is located on. Labeled the 'fissure pueblo' by Frank Hamilton Cushing in 1883, it has numerous means of tracking the sun, and is truly a remarkable site for its time. The site became a National Historic Landmark in 1964. The park can only be visited by guided tour. Tours originate from the beautiful Heritage Museum located in the historic School building at 418 E Main Street in Springerville, AZ. Guests should call ahead for reservations when possible and should arrive 30 minutes prior to their tour time. (Tours are subject to weather conditions.)
