TOWN of SPRINGDALE NOVEMBER 2018 ESTD 1862 from Mayor Smith a Special and Meaningful Commemoration TOWN OF SPRINGDALE NOVEMBER 2018 ESTD 1862 From Mayor Smith A Special and Meaningful Commemoration The Springdale Historic Preservation Commission has presented SONGS OF LIFE the town with a monument to commemorate the stone ditch-works that lined the streets of Springdale until recently removed to accommodate improvements to Zion Park Boulevard (SR-9).

I loved to listen as he played the piano; it seemed he could play anything by ear. His beautiful voice serenaded many occasions and it was a pleasure to sit next to him in choir. The songs of the birds in the canyon are certainly beautiful but their music won’t be nearly as sweet with JR gone. — STAN springdaletown.com The work was difficult and unforgiving.

LAST DUMPSTERS OF THE YEAR NOVEMBER 9-11 The Annual Christmas Bird Count Zion National Park's annual Christmas Bird Count is scheduled for Saturday, December 15, 2018 and all are invited to participate! The Christmas Bird Count (CBC), sponsored by the National Audubon Society, is the longest-running citizen science survey in the world. The data collected during CBCs provides critical data on bird population trends. This year marks the 119th year of Christmas Bird Counts, and the 57th year of the Zion CBC! Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome to participate, though a basic level of familiarity with Southern Utah's wintering birds is helpful. Each participant should bring their own pair of binoculars or a spotting scope and food, water, and clothing for a winter day outdoors. The count will go roughly from sunrise to sunset, 8am - 5pm, followed by a potluck where we can go over the day's birds. If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please contact Jason Pietrzak (Zion Wildlife) by Monday, Dec ember 3rd, 2018. Email [email protected] or call 435-772-0155.

    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.

(The Great Basin is a major subdivision) The Hurricane Hill forms part of the boundary between two major physiographic regions, the Colorado Plateaus to the east and Basin and Range province to the west. Colorado Plateaus are generally much higher and the strata tends be level, much as they were when being laid down. The Basin and Range province is mostly tilted, twisted or folded. North-South oriented mountain ranges traverse it, products of thousands of faults that have wracked the area. It tends to be much lower in elevation. Two examples: (l) St. George lies nestled in the same layer that is found almost 3,000 feet higher in Zion; (2) as the freeway descends through the Virgin River canyon, it cuts through the same strata that comprise the Grand Canyon but that are 4,000 feet higher in the Park.

    TBIRD TRAILS HIKING GUIDE OBSERVATIONZION NATIONAL PARK POINT MAP KEY TRAIL ROAD PARKING HIGH POINT Distance from SUU: Diculty: 65 miles Moderate to strenuous Hiking Distance: Equipment: 8 mile (round trip) Food, water, and sun protection Average Hiking Time: Best Season: 4 to 6 hours Spring, Fall We hope you enjoy your hiking experience in southern Utah. For more information or equipment rentals please contact: Hours: Monday - Friday 9 am to 6 pm Website: www. suu.edu/outdoors Hazards: Observation Point is a tough hike. The trail ascends from the valley floor to the top of the canyon — over 2,000 feet — in four miles. The trail coming back can be just as grueling. For most of the trail, hikers are in the sun with little shade. Sun protection, such as sunscreen and a hat, is important for hikers to carry. Because of the sun exposure, hikers should drink water regularly along the trail. The trail traverses along several cli edges. Hikers should be aware of the edges and take caution along the trail, especially when the trail is narrow (about 5 feet across). Getting there: Hikers can reach the Observation Point trailhead, which is the Weeping Rock parking area, by going to Zion National Park. Zion is about an hour and half drive from Cedar City. Hikers should head south on I-15 toward St. George. After 31 miles, hikers should exit at Exit 27 for U.S. Highway 17. Turn left and follow HWY 17 for about six miles to the city of La Verkin. In La Verkin, hikers should turn left at HWY 9 toward Springdale and Zion National Park.

UT-40-C (Page 2) Starting e.t the Weeping Rock parking area and ending at Observation Point, the East Rim Trail is four miles long and climbs 2,100 feet. The original trail-route was used by prehistoric peoples and waa improved by pioneer rancher John Winder in 1896. David Planigan utilized the lower two miles of this route (before the Cable Mt. Trail turnoff), when he built the cableworks to lower lumber into Zion Canyon from Cable Mountain in 1901. As the weak link in the short-cut route between Orderville and St. George by way of Zion Canyon, the trail was barely passable when Mukuntuweap (Zion) Canyon waa established as a national monument in 1909* National Park Service crews worked to improve the trail in the winter of 1918 (the year the name of the area was changed to Zion National Monument) and in the spring of 1919 (the year the area was designated as Zion National Park).
