Red Rock State Park is located at the base of the Mogollon Rim, the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. The escarpment is over 200 miles long and ranges in elevation from 2,000 to 3,000 feet. Over millions of years of erosion the rim has receded over four miles leaving behind the picturesque features of Sedona. Our monthly- guided geology walk will be held on March 8th at 1:00 P.M. Join our knowledgeable volunteers as they venture out on our trails and discuss how Sedona transformed into what we see today. This is an interpretive experience for both the beginner and experienced hiker, lasting between 2-2 ½ hours and an elevation gain of 250 feet. Please bring water and wear suitable footwear. Lecture Series: Prehistoric Trade in the Southwest-Sunday, March 8th at 2:00 P.M. Trade has been and always will be a major component to human interactions, whether it be on an individual level or an entire culture. In the Southwest evidence of trade for marine shells from the Pacific Coast are found in Clovis sites dating to 11,000 years ago. Through time, the involvement of prehistoric people in trade increased until exchange networks extended from the Pacific Ocean to the Rio Grande and from Yellowstone to central Mexico. This lecture will show the kinds of items that were traded from these areas into the Southwest and will discuss that it was not only the exchange of objects, but the ideas that accompanied them, that makes trade an important stimulus for the growth and development of culture. Join Red Rock State Park on Sunday, March 8th to learn more about the prehistoric trade in the Southwest with Peter Pilles. Peter J. Pilles Jr. currently works for the United States Forest Service as the Coconino National Forest Archeologist. He is one of the leading archeologist in the southwest, having worked in the region for over 40 years. After graduating from Arizona State University in Tempe, Pilles worked on several projects for Arizona State University, the Arizona Museum, and the Pueblo Grande Museum amongst others. Soon after, Peter Pilles joined the staff of the Museum of Northern Arizona in 1967. In 1975, Peter Pilles moved on to join the staff at the Coconino National Forest where he now heads Elden Pueblo Archaeological Project at the Coconino National Forest. Pilles holds many awards including National Trust Historic Preservation Award, the Achievement in Historic Preservation Award, the United States Department of Agriculture's Award for intergrating Archaeology and Public Involvement as well as the Windows of the Past National Award from the US Forest Service. The program will be held in the Park's theatre at 2:00 PM. Please call ahead for reserve your space; the program is included within the Park’s admission fees: $5.00 per adult (14 and up), $3.00 per youth (7-13), and free for children (0-6).

Throughout the month of March Red Rock State Park will be playing the Ancient Indian Cultures of Northern Arizona program at 2:00 P.M. Monday-Saturday in the park’s theatre. The program will cover the fascinating prehistory of the people who first settled in the area over 1,500 years ago. Learn about the settlements they built, how the culture flourished, their structures, and artifacts. View breathtaking shots of Sunset Crater, the sprawling settlements of Wupatki, and amazing dwellings including Montezuma Castle, Walnut Canyon, and Tuzigoot. Wednesday and Saturday Bird Walks, 8:00 A.M. Bird walks begin at 8:00 AM on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Bird enthusiasts join a naturalist for a guided walk appropriate for beginner and advanced birders. Please bring your own binoculars; only a limited number are available for loan from the park. If birding on your own, the Humming bird Patio is an excellent spot to start your tour. Another good viewing point is the visitor center roof. Most year-round birds are found in the riparian area next to Oak Creek or along the field behind the visitor center. The Audubon Society has designated Red Rock State Park as an Important Birding Area (IBA) because of the many species that live or visit here. 3 Daily Guided Nature Walks and Activities, 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM: At 10:00 AM every day, a volunteer naturalist leads a guided nature walk informing visitors about the different life zones of Red Rock State Park. The subjects discussed on this walk include geology, wildlife, history, archeology, and plant life. The naturalists welcome questions during the walk, enhancing the learning experience. During the afternoon, the park hosts a 45-minute ranger/naturalist-led walk, nature videos, or various other presentations depending on the season. Picnic Areas and Shelters: Several covered ramadas and picnic tables are available to reserve throughout the park. The ramadas feature charcoal barbecue grills, picnic tables, electrical outlets, water and nearby restrooms. To inquire about reserving a ramada for groups, please call 928-282-6907. These areas are also available for daily visitors first come first serve. Red Rock State Park is a “pack in-pack out” facility and does not provide trash receptacles. Please remember to “pack out” your trash with you to help us protect the environment and wildlife. Junior Rangers: A Junior Ranger program is available for children between the ages of six and twelve. Junior Rangers pledge their part in helping preserve the beauty of the park for everyone! Junior Ranger booklets, available at the Visitor Center, have activities to complete and, once approved by a Ranger, the newest Junior Ranger at Red Rock State Park is sworn in after taking the pledge and receiving a Junior Ranger button.

  • Chapter 3. Management Areas
    Chapter 3. Management Areas Introduction to Management Areas Management areas are areas that have similar management intent and a common management strategy that are more specific than forestwide guidance provided in Chapter 2. This direction does not substitute for or repeat forestwide direction, but rather provides additional direction for the applicable area. In the event that a plan decision in this section and the forestwide component in another section conflict, the more restrictive plan decision generally prevails. A project or activity-level evaluation, however, may be required to resolve the conflict; generally, however, the more restrictive plan decision prevails. Some management areas are special areas that have been designated by Congress or an office of the Executive Branch. They are managed to protect the special features or character for which they were designated and must be managed in accordance with relevant law, regulation, and policy and any area- specific management plan, such as the Verde River Comprehensive River Management Plan. Because of the complication of carrying forward direction from the previous forest plan there are two management areas that overlay the Sedona-Oak Creek Management Area (MA). The Oak Creek Canyon and House Mountain-Lowlands MAs are both subject to direction for the Sedona-Oak Creek MA and have unique direction that applies only to these overlay areas. In addition, there are several guidelines in the Sedona-Oak Creek MA to which the House Mountain-Lowlands MA is an exception. Scenery desired conditions (desired landscape character) for wilderness and wild and scenic rivers is described in the MA direction. For other management areas, see the Landscape Character Zones for this direction.
