TRAILS FOREVER ANNUAL RESTORATION Our supporters helped the park restore and maintain over 4,000 linear feet of Hermit, Bright Angel, Grandview, Waldron, and Dripping Springs Trails. Stone walls were rebuilt, rockslides were cleared, and steps were created to improve hiker safety, protect natural habitats, and ensure Grand Canyon’s trails continue to serve the thousands of hikers who visit them annually. DESERT VIEW INTER-TRIBAL CULTURAL HERITAGE SITE With your support, the historic American Indian murals that adorn the walls of Desert View Watchtower were conserved and a Cultural Demonstration Series provided opportunities for artisans from the 11 traditionally-associated tribes to share their artistry and craftsmanship with park visitors. Schematic designs have been created to transform the Desert View site into a thriving space that celebrates the tribal heritage of Grand Canyon.

DISCOVERY AND EXPLORATION Thanks to you, the Canyon Field School was re-launched, providing middle and high school students an opportunity to learn about geology, ecology, and human history at Grand Canyon. Your support also funded the Preventive Search and Rescue program to help hikers on the trails, and a project to establish new populations of the endangered Humpback Chub in Shinumo, Havasu, and Bright Angel Creeks. PROTECTING THE NIGHT SKY In 2019, Grand Canyon National Park received International Dark-Sky Park status from the International Dark-Sky Association and was also named Dark Sky Place of the year. Through your generosity, 1,750 lights in the park were replaced with dark-sky compliant light bulbs and fixtures. 2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Photo by NPS A NEW SHADE STRUCTURE AT TIPOFF PROVIDES RELIEF FOR HIKERS If you were in the canyon on Halloween 2019, you may have seen a rather amazing sight—a helicopter delivering a shade structure into the canyon, at Tipoff, 4.4 miles from the South Kaibab Trailhead. The shade structure now provides shelter for South Kaibab hikers in an area that previously had been one of the most exposed along the trail. “We receive a lot of calls from people on the lower half of the South Kaibab Trail who experience fatigue or are overheated,” said Grand Canyon National Park Ranger Debbie Brenchley. “This shelter will benefit people who could use a rest house to recover during their hike, especially during the summer.” The structure is 12 feet by 24 feet with 4-foot overhangs to provide shade around the exterior. It features shade screens to provide air flow, six benches inside, and a lightning protection system to protect the structure and occupants from lightning strikes. There are also two 125-gallon cisterns to provide non-potable water for visitors to use to cool down.
