When you look out over it, it does not occur to you that there is an end to it. You see the monoliths that stand away in space, and you imagine that you have come upon eternity. They do not appear to exist in time. You think: I see that time comes to an end on this side of the rock, and on the other side there is nothing forever.” —The Names, N.

The 26,000-square-mile watershed of the Little Colorado extends from the Continental Divide in New Mexico, south to the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains of Arizona, west to the San Francisco Peaks, and north to Black Mesa on the Navajo and Hopi reservations. It’s big country, 16.5 million acres, with unending vistas across empty grasslands, broken badlands, undulating volcanic fields, and hidden canyons.

  • The Painted Desert Respite
    MJ APPROVED: TRAVEL The Painted Desert Respite The Saguaro, Scottsdale With its sandstone buildings and the rocky Sonoran desert surrounding it, Scottsdale, Arizona isn’t exactly known for eye-popping color. That’s why the Saguaro hotel, a 1960s motel renovated with vivid hues inspired by indigenous flora – not to mention mod design elements like solid-colored walls, light woods, and black-and-white photos of local cacti – makes a strong first impression. The 5.5.-acre property, however, offers more than good looks (as well as firm-but-comfy beds in spacious rooms with flatscreen TVs and iPod docks). It’s located in the city’s historic “old town” district and literally next door to the performing arts center, but inside the gates a party is going on. At least that’s one way to describe the lively, expertly DJ-ed pool scene, and you’ll want a room with a view of one of the two palm-lined swimming holes. ‘Iron Chef’ Jose Garces helms the in-house restaurant, Distrito, and he’s brought a Mexico City-style cuisine, full of bright flavors and fresh ingredients, to a spot that could have easily settled for another “New American eatery.” We frequented the area to tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and school Taliesin West, which is a short drive away, as well as to swing our drivers on some of the finest fairways in the southwest, especially at the Troon North Golf Club, which sprawls around natural ravines and boulders. Back at the hotel, which draws a hip, youthful adult crowd and may offer you a room with a cow’s skull on a side table, we enjoyed a powerful glass of rye at Garces’ bar Old Town Whiskey, which specializes in Americana-style spirits.

LUMMIS Author of "Some Strange Corners of Our Country,"—"The Land of Poco Tiempo," "Pueblo Indian Folk Stories," etc. Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration "Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange." — The Tempest. SEQUOIA in California is the oldest creature alive. It had measured a millennium when Christ walked the earth. But "that's no time at all." Ten thousand ages before the cedars bloomed on Lebanon, away out here in the Wonderland of our own Southwest, the "Wind, that grand old harper, smote His thunder-harp of pines"— identical pines that are with us to this day. Not, indeed, as they were in that incalculable Past—for they have Put on Immortality, and are this side of Resurrection. They lived their green millenniums, and were laid to bed under the coverlet of a continent, to sleep ten times as long as Parasite Man has crawled upon this globe. And since, for as many aeons, the tireless moths of Erosion have been gnaw­ ing away their league-thick blankets, till at last they are bared again to the Arizona sun—the most imperishable of earthly things, and of fadeless beauty; a "Forest" in Glorified Stone, its very bark and "rings" immortalized in agate.

    NATIONAL PARK SERVICE • U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Foundation Document Overview Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Arizona Contact Information For more information about the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Foundation Document, contact: [email protected] or (928) 526-1157 or write to: Superintendent, Flagstaff Area National Monuments, 6400 N. Hwy 89, Flagstaff, AZ 86004 Purpose Significance Significance statements express why Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument resources and values are important enough to merit national park unit designation. Statements of significance describe why an area is important within a global, national, regional, and systemwide context. These statements are linked to the purpose of the park unit, and are supported by data, research, and consensus. Significance statements describe the distinctive nature of the park and inform management decisions, focusing efforts on preserving and protecting the most important resources and values of the park unit. • Most Recent Eruption. Erupting roughly 900 years ago, Sunset Crater Volcano is the youngest of 600 volcanoes within northern Arizona’s San Francisco Volcanic Field. • Geology. The monument’s display of plate tectonics, volcanism, and pristine eruption features provides excellent opportunities for science, education, and interpretation in the context of regional and global geology. • Community. This catastrophic event profoundly affected the life of people in the region and left a unique archeological and ethnographic record of human response, adaptation, and recovery. Sunset Crater Volcano and its impressive features continue to be significant to contemporary American Indian tribes. • Ecology. A 100-square-mile cinder and ash blanket smothered all life nearest the volcano, resulting in ecologic succession and a unique assemblage of plants in a largely barren landscape.

  • North American Deserts Chihuahuan - Great Basin Desert - Sonoran – Mojave
    North American Deserts Chihuahuan - Great Basin Desert - Sonoran – Mojave http://www.desertusa.com/desert.html In most modern classifications, the deserts of the United States and northern Mexico are grouped into four distinct categories. These distinctions are made on the basis of floristic composition and distribution -- the species of plants growing in a particular desert region. Plant communities, in turn, are determined by the geologic history of a region, the soil and mineral conditions, the elevation and the patterns of precipitation. Three of these deserts -- the Chihuahuan, the Sonoran and the Mojave -- are called "hot deserts," because of their high temperatures during the long summer and because the evolutionary affinities of their plant life are largely with the subtropical plant communities to the south. The Great Basin Desert is called a "cold desert" because it is generally cooler and its dominant plant life is not subtropical in origin. Chihuahuan Desert: A small area of southeastern New Mexico and extreme western Texas, extending south into a vast area of Mexico. Great Basin Desert: The northern three-quarters of Nevada, western and southern Utah, to the southern third of Idaho and the southeastern corner of Oregon. According to some, it also includes small portions of western Colorado and southwestern Wyoming. Bordered on the south by the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts. Mojave Desert: A portion of southern Nevada, extreme southwestern Utah and of eastern California, north of the Sonoran Desert. Sonoran Desert: A relatively small region of extreme south-central California and most of the southern half of Arizona, east to almost the New Mexico line.
