ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior proposes to withdraw approximately 633,547 acres of public lands and 360,002 acres of National Forest System lands for up to 20 years from location and entry under the Mining Law of 1872, 30 U.S.C. §§ 22 et seq., on behalf of the Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service.

  • Lessons from Kanab Creek
    Lessons From Kanab Creek It is late May, and final exams have ended at Northern Arizona University. The van is crammed with sleepy college students heading from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon’s North Rim. The high desert is blooming after a recent thunderstorm. Patches of orange Globemallow and yellow Primrose dot the landscape. Our destination is Kanab Creek Wilderness. My first trip, nine years ago, was as a student; now I am the instructor. We zip past the flowers while distant rusty cliffs float by. I thumbed through memories of my first Kanab Creek trip, practicing leadership skills while carrying heavy packs. The canyons were our classroom. My first impressions were of the convoluted drainages and towering red cliffs that were foreign to this boy from Philadelphia. Yet, somehow, it felt like a homecoming. The memories were comforting; my eyes closed and I fell a sleep. Ruts in the washboard road jar me awake. My eyes open. A new landscape spreads out before me: a maze of windswept walls, rocky knobs, potholes, and alcoves. The van stops and its doors swing open. We are at the top of Jump Up Canyon, our entry point into Kanab Creek, the largest drainage on the Grand Canyon’s north rim. Kanab Creek cuts a network of gorges hundreds and thousands of feet into the Kaibab Plateau. It is the largest and most beautiful office a person could work in. Now, I facilitate students on their own adventures in Kanab Creek. I make sure nobody gets injured, initiate discussion, assign grades, prevent students from burning their food, and patch up the predictable blisters.

  • Final Wilderness Recommendation
    Final Wilderness Recommendation 2010 Update Grand Canyon National Park Arizona National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior NOTE: This document is a draft update to the park’s 1980 Final Wilderness Recommendation submitted to the Department of Interior in September 1980. The 1980 recommendation has never been forwarded to the president and Congress for legislative action. The 2010 draft update is to reconcile facts on the ground and incorporate modern mapping tools (Geographical Information Systems), but it does not alter the substance of the original recommendation. In 1993, the park also completed an update that served as a resource for the 2010 draft update. The official wilderness recommendation map remains the map #113-40, 047B, submitted to the Department of Interior in 1980.
