Bottom line here. Grand canyon belongs to the American People. I could give a shit less who came first. It belongs to us all. It is unacceptable that ANY part...
It seems to me like these arguments are not even really about Deer Creek and pack-rafting. It sounds as if there's a group of individuals that simply do not...
Well, you can ignore the troll, but not the gatekeeper, Bubbah. And I will make sure the Secretary gets the whole skinny. I'm sure he will find it all very,...
It was just a thought I couldn't hold back. The rock still looks like limestone to me and just can't think which of the several possibilities -- but can't be...
... (Sarcasm ON) Yes, the Park works so much better, when management decisions are made through the 'old boy' network, rather than through those crazy public...
I agree, the Grand Canyon belongs to all of us and we all deserve equality when it comes to it's many uses. More than that, we deserve transparency as to...
There were two lawsuits associated with the events at Devils Tower: The NPS instituted a VOLUNTARY closure, a request for non-climbing, with climbers for the...
Steve, in recent posts you've treated other members of the group derisively, described your own words as "threats," condescendingly referred to a Native...
The rock (slab) in the foreground looks VERY limestone to me. The resolution isn't good enough to be sure, but it looks carnivorous. No signs of any...
In the 5 years since Wayne and Bob H. lightly scolded me on my first post, I have been eagerly reading every message on this board, and developed relationships...
Taken outside the park boundary and with no real landmarks, I didn't expect anyone to pin this shot down specifically - Early on, Richard made a good guess at...

Education of issues, through appropriate communication, often vets the unreasonable and identifies a reasonable approach -- often one that no one likes. Kam...
Just back from a wonderful Grand river trip. We also got to experience the eclipse, though from National, there wasn't that much to see. A hiker had to be air...
... ____________________________________ Total Darwin potential on this guy. When would the average person dance around the edge of the GC, fall 30' and then...
Gee Whiz is there a virus or something on this site? I think about 2 to 4 people a year go over the edge around the south rim. Not all are frolicking or acting...
... Is it really so horrific to witness someone rappelling through a slot in the GC? <snip> like Zion and all of southern Utah...? <snip> Lashing out at a few...
... Yes. Can't imagine it myself. I know some people have no innate fear of heights. Thank you Jeffery for your service and for introducing us to the Grand...
Not really. While we may never know why this young man ducked under a fence in the first place, it makes perfect, very sad sense that he fell the second...
The former name is Surprise Valley -- certainly you can come on this from any approach and experience the surprise of discovery. The name goes back to the...
