History
During
the early history of Arizona, this area
was well known as Long Valley, it was the
only way to get over the Mogollon Rim from
Winslow to Strawberry, Pine, Payson and
the Phoenix area.
In the early 1900's the forest service established
the Long Valley Ranger Station. There were
not many people working at the ranger station
and during the winter no one was there as
the residents left the area with the exception
of the Fuller family.
Sometime later the Hoke family opened a
small gas station and grocery store which
was the main water supply for the people
using the area and for those traveling through.
During
the 1920's, 30's and 40's, Arizona's largest
logging industry was centered around Williams,
the Grand Canyon, and Flagstaff. When the
demand for more lumber became evident, the
logging operation moved to Barney Pasture,
Mormon Lake, and Sheep Springs. The road
conditions made it difficult for the men
working as loggers to travel home each night,
so camps were built along with portable
housing. This enabled families to stay during
the working months. An unused railroad was
revitalized so that the logs could be moved
from the camps to Flagstaff.
In
the early 1940's the area known as Long
Valley was a weekend gathering place for
rodeo's and dances which were sponsored
by the Fuller family at their ranch. This
was a regular happening for about 30 years.
In
1947 Southwest Forest Industries was established
as a permanent logging camp. Water was available
from a natural spring enabling a deep well
to be drilled. This new camp was called
Happy Jack. It was never determined whether
the name Happy Jack came from the "lumber
jacks" or from a happy-go-lucky fellow
who was one of the employees.
In
the late of the 1940's and early 50's, the
logging camp of Happy Jack was established
and in as much as the forest service personnel
dealt with the logging industry, a decision
was made to move Long Valley to Happy Jack.
Therefore the forest service station and
logging camp were at the same site, but
with a Happy Jack mailing address and it
did not take long until the Long Valley
Ranger Station became known as Happy Jack
Ranger Station.
In
1994 the Mongini family of Cottonwood Arizona
bought the property, which is known as Happy
Jack Too. It was remodeled and is now a
beautiful RV park with cabins for rent,
a restaurant and steak house, a laundromat,
small country store and many other amenities
for your use and enjoyment.

Brief
History...
In the high grassland of 14th century northern
Arizona, an ancient people found a home
along the Little Colorado River. These people,
the Hisat'sinom (known to archaeologists
as the Anasazi), paused in their migrations
to till the rich flood plain and sandy slopes
before continuing north to join people already
living on the mesas, people who are today
known as the Hopi.
The
Hopi people of today still consider Homolovi,
as well as other precolumbian sites in the
southwest, to be part of their homeland.
They continue to make pilgrimages to these
sites, renewing the ties of the people with
the land. The Hopi tell us that the broken
pottery and stones are now part of the land
and are the trail the Bahana will follow
when he returns. Therefore, these are mute
reminders that the Hopi continue to follow
the true Hopi way and the instructions of
Masau'u.
The
years have brought many changes to Homolovi.
The migrations ended when the people settled
at the center of the world, the Hopi Mesas
north of Homolovi. However, as new people
appeared, such as the Dine' (Navajo) and
later the Europeans, the Hopi watched as
their homeland was occupied by the new people.
Eventually they also saw these people begin
destroying their ancient homes, digging
in these sacred sites for curios and for
items to sell.
In
an effort to protect some of these sites,
the Hopi people supported the idea of Homolovi
Ruins State Park. This idea resulted in
the establishment of the park in 1986 and
the opening of the park in 1993.
Homolovi
Ruins State Park now serves as a center
of research for the late migration period
of the Hopi from the 1200's to the late
1300's. While archaeologists study the sites
and confer with the Hopi to unravel the
history of Homolovi, Arizona State Parks
provides the opportunity for visitors to
visit the sites and use park facilities
including a visitor center and museum, various
trails and a campground. Several covered
picnic tables are located throughout the
park. Pullouts provide the opportunity to
observe wildlife in this park of over 4,000
acres at an elevation of 4,900 feet.
Did
You Know?
This is a sacred place to the Hopi people.
Each broken piece of pottery, each stone
fragment, each ancient wall, and each figure
pecked into stone by their ancestors is
sacred and deserves our respect. In addition,
state and federal laws are actively enforced
to protect these sites.
Removal or damage of any site, artifact,
artifact fragment, or rock art can incur
penalties under state law of 5 years in
prison and a maximum $150,000 fine.
We
therefore ask that you respect the wishes
of the Hopi people ... Enjoy Homolovi, but
leave the sites as you find them.
Trails
Nusungvo: The name means "Place of
Rest" in the Hopi language. 1.2 miles
primitive hike across high prarie grasslands.
This trail goes from the Visitor Center
to the campground area.
Tsu'vo:
The name means "Path of the Rattlesnake"
in Hopi. It is a 1/2 mile loop trail between
the twin buttes within the park. It is a
nature trail and also an archaelogical trail
where you can see milling stone areas and
petroglyphs.
Dine:
This 1 1/2 mile trail goes to Din? Point
and ties in with both other trails. Din?
Point shows a scenic view of the park.
Homolovi
II Trail: 1/2 mile paved trail that is wheelchair
accessible. The trail allows access to the
largest of the Park's archaeological sites
and contains an estimated 1,200 to 2,000
rooms. It is believed that these pueblos
were once home to the ancestors of the present-day
Hopi people. Much of the activity took place
during the fourteenth century. There continue
to be similarities between the architecture,
pottery styles, and art motifs of the Hopi
people in the north, and the prehistoric
inhabitants of Homolovi.
More
than 300 archaeological sites have been
identified within the park boundaries, including
four major fourteenth century pueblos. The
visitor center provides exhibits that interpret
the significance of this area.
