🏞️ **Follow the Little Colorado River through Round Valley’s story**
The Little Colorado River begins on the slopes of Mount Baldy, flows through the White Mountains and Round Valley, and eventually joins the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. What a journey for a river that runs through our own backyard!
Near Springerville, the river has long supported plants, wildlife, farming, and the people who call this valley home. For the people who lived at **Casa Malpais**, the surrounding landscape offered water and resources essential to daily life.
On a guided tour, look beyond the pueblo walls. A nearby terrace where rocks were cleared offers another clue to how people used this land. Was it prepared for growing food or another purpose? The landscape still has stories to tell.
Come discover the connection between river, land, and history in Springerville. Casa Malpais tours depart from the **Springerville Heritage Center, 418 E. Main Street**. Reservations are strongly recommended, and tours depend on the weather.
