Impact Topics – Page 43 TEXT CHANGES: Impact Topics Analyzed in Detail: Wildlife ORV (including the threatened Mexican spotted owl) Impact Topics Eliminated from Detailed Analysis: Threatened, Endangered, and Candidate Plant and Animal Species Chapter 1 – Impact Topics Dismissed from Further Analysis – Page 46 TEXT CHANGES: Threatened, Endangered, and Candidate Plant and Animal Species The Endangered Species Act of 1973 requires examination of impacts on all federally listed threatened, endangered, and candidate species. Section 7 of the ESA requires all federal agencies to consult with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that any action authorized, funded, or carried out by the agency does not jeopardize the continued existence of the listed species or critical habitats. In addition, The 2006 Management Policies and DO-77: Natural Resource Management requires the NPS to examine the impacts on federal candidate species, as well as stated listed species. In 2010 the USFWS directed the National Park Service to their Information, Planning, and Conservation System (IPAC) on the internet to obtain a list of species that may occur in project area. The list included the following species: greater sage grouse, Mexican spotted owl, southwestern willow flycatcher, yellow- billed cuckoo, Virgin River chub, woundfin, Gierisch mallow, Jones cycladenia, Las Vegas buckwheat, Shivwits milk-vetch, Welsh’s milkweed, Utah prairie dog, desert tortoise, and California condor. Zion does not have the habitat components to support most of these species.

  • Guide to Zion Raptor Closures U.S
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Zion Zion National Park Guide to Seasonal Raptor Closures National Park Service Guide to Zion Raptor Closures U.S. Department of the Interior Zion National Park How to Use This Guide Confirming Closure Status This guide contains all closures that go into effect on March 1st, 2021. As park staff and volunteers identify nests or as fledglings leave the nest, these cliffs will open to climbing and the closure will no longer be in effect. If you wish to climb in a crag listed in this document, first check the park website to confirm the status of the closure. If the website lists a cliff as “OPEN” then the closure listed in this guide does not apply. If the website lists a cliff as “CLOSED” then the boundary indicated in the guide applies. The list of active closures can be found at: https://www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/climbing.htm or by scanning the QR code below. Interpreting the Guide The photographic closure graphics in this guide are meant to serve as the legal indicator of closure boundaries while the maps are best approximations. Route overlays are only meant to serve as points of reference, and not as accurate as published guidebooks, information at the Wilderness desk, or other sources of beta. If you have any questions or suggestions for improving this information, please email [email protected]. Background Information The cliffs of Zion National Park provide both unique nesting habitat for raptors and recreational opportunities for climbers. Because the needs of sensitive Peregrine Falcons and California Condors are prioritized, limited areas of Zion are closed annually to climbers in the spring to allow raptors to nest.

Angel Peak Scenic Area, located about 30 miles southeast of Farmington, offers more than 10, acres of rugged terrain recognized for its scenic and scientific wonders. The nearly 7,foot Angel Peak, a landmark composed of river deposited sandstone from the San Jose Formation, is visible for miles in any direction. However, the banded colors of the badlands and the deep sculpted fingers of the canyon at the base of Angel Peak are only fully revealed to those who make the short journey along the rim. Remnants of mammal fossils, as well as wood petrified over the ages, can be found eroding out of the sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone visible in the canyon today. Collection and study of these important fossils by permitted paleontologists helps document the evolution of many mammal species and contributes to our knowledge of the earth's history.

    The Insider’s‘ Guide to Zion National Park zionponderosa.com Look at this photograph This is a picture of one of the hundreds of slot canyons in Zion National Park. That canyon started out as a hairline crack, but flash floods and flowing water worked together to widen the crack to form a narrow crevice. As you navigate through its twists and turns, you will be followed by a tapestry of lines carved onto the walls by wind, water and time. The stone gets its red color from the iron oxide that is rusting inside the rock. zionponderosa.com 3 The Insider’s Guide to | Zion National Park Welcome to Zion National Park one of the world’s great geological wonderlands. Established in 1919, Utah’s oldest (and most visited) national park encompasses 229 square miles of plateaus, canyons, arches, rivers and tributaries.

    Mark your confusion. ​ Purposefully annotate the article (1-2 mature, thoughtful responses per page to what the author is saying) ​ Write a 1+ page (250+ word) response to the article. ​ A Race to the Top of the Most Beautiful Place on Earth by Reese Wells for Narratively, 08/11/15 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ In the dark we ride. Three from Keys to Freeze1 – Brady, Tyler, and I – pedaling up the black canyon in the pre-dawn. Since leaving the Florida Keys in February, bound for Deadhorse, Alaska, we’ve met swamp people and fallen heroes, battled near-decapitating headwinds, and seen the most tricked-out traveling van imaginable. Today, we’ve arrived at Zion National Park in southwest Utah before the morning rush – before the shuttle buses carrying hundreds of tourists to the valley drive into the canyon. We are alone, and heading to Angels Landing. “Only an angel could land on it!” said explorer Frederick Fisher of Angels Landing’s high, thin peak from the canyon floor in 1916. So the name stuck, and when the trail was built in 1926 by the parks service, Angels Landing became — and remains — the premier hike of Zion National Park. Each day during prime tourist season thousands of park visitors hike here. From the landing, where one has a full view of the lower half of the trail, it is said that hikers coming up look like ants winding their way up the anthill. The trailhead is located at the Grottos, which is three miles up the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive and only accessible by shuttle bus or bicycle.

Depart: Plan to fly out of Moab Regional Airport (CNY) in Utah anytime after 11AM on the last day. Trip Overview Southern Utah is home to four of the most well-known National Parks, each with its own special magic and unique attractions. Zion National Park is famous for its soaring red Navajo Sandstone cliffs. Nearby Bryce Canyon is a testimonial to the erosive power of ice and rainwater, carving its colorful limestone into windows, fins, and soaring spires called hoodoos. Capitol Reef is a monument to the amazing power of uplift. Goblin Valley State Park demonstrates just how bizarre rocks shaped by erosion can get and also the magic of slot canyons. And Arches National Park lives up to its name with over two thousand sandstone arches of all shapes and sizes. While we need to drive between parks (on some of the most scenic highways you will ever have the pleasure to drive on), this is not primarily a driving trip.

Built in the mid-1920's, Angels Landing is a stunning hike. The trail takes an improbable route up over 1200 feet to the summit. En route, it passes Scout Lookout, which has amazing views, and makes a good stopping point for those with a fear of heights. The short hike from Scouts Lookout to the top of Angels Landing is breathtaking. This final section of trail has sheer drops on both sides. The passage is made easier by chains have been installed to use as a handline. This last section is not suitable for young children or those at all afraid of heights. Certainly a trail with such exposure would not likely be built in today's society. Someone once commented that Angels Landing is the best short hike in the world. That is a good description! It is certainly the top non-technical hike in Zion for big views. Tags: hike, fall colors, access: paved Trailhead The trailhead is the Grotto Shuttle stop in the main Zion canyon.
