  • Southwest Places to Visit Or
    Places to Visit or Collect in the Southwestern United States Places to Visit or Collect in the Southwestern United States By Thomas Farley Revision 002, September 26th, 2019. (Version 001 was incorrectly labeled October 1, 2019) https://www.patreon.com/writingrockhound (more good stuff!) [email protected] (comments, corrections, and additions wanted!) These are places I visited or were recommended to me while traveling in the Southwest for my book. I mostly visited rock related places and ground open to collecting. Weather wise, October may be the best time to travel the Southwest, followed by May. It is impractical to visit every place you want to go because day after day you will find certain stores, mines, and museums closed. Traveling Monday through Thursday is especially tough, my advice is to prospect or collect on those days and then try to visit businesses and museums closer to the weekend. You will have to return to the Southwest to visit places closed on your first travel. I envy you. German motorcyclist balancing on the Four Corners Monument 1 By Thomas Farley: https://www.patreon.com/writingrockhound Arizona (and one exception in Utah) James Mitchell’s Gem Trails of Arizona is dated but essential. Anyone traveling extensively off-pavement in Arizona should get an Arizona State Trust Land Permit. $15.00 for an individual. Rockhounding on Arizona State Trust Land is prohibited but stopping at any point on these lands constitutes a “use” and that use demands a permit. Determining where these properties exists while driving is impractical, most are managed grazing land outside of small towns or settlements.

  • Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument Visitor Use Reporting Plan
    Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument Visitor Use Reporting Plan May 2005 Draft General Overview Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument (GCPNM), a unit of the National Landscape Conservation System, was designated by Presidential Proclamation on January 11, 2000. Located in the northwest corner of Arizona, the monument is 1,054,308 acres in size. It is jointly managed by the BLM and the National Park Service (NPS), with approximately 800,000 acres of BLM land and 200,000 acres of Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NPS). The overall purpose of the GCPNM Visitor Use Reporting Plan is to provide instructions for collecting, interpreting, and reporting data and professional estimates of visitor use for the national monument. Valid visitor use data in correlation with regular resource monitoring will enable land managers to work proactively to address impacts resulting from visitor use. These instructions are effective on the date of approval by the Monument Manager and will remain in effect until this VURP is amended. Goal Develop a comprehensive, standardized system to collect visitor use data which provides valid information for current and future management decisions related to human/resource interaction on the AZ Strip. Objectives 1. Document the process, assumptions, and techniques that will be used to estimate and record visitor use for the area. 2. Create a standard set of forms, non-RMiS database and related formulas, that can be extrapolated into RMiS thereby restructuring the current RMiS. 3. Provide measurement tools for managing remoteness and protecting the monument objects and resources. 4. Provide management with framework for evaluating conditions and recommendations for management action.

  • Arizona Strip Field Office, St George UT
    Arizona Strip Field Office, St George UT The Arizona Strip Field Office covers 2.8 million acres of public land ranging from the Mohave Desert to ponderosa pine capped mountains. Its canyons and plateaus lie on the northern edge of the Grand Canyon and include 78 miles of riparian habitat. A primary attraction of the Strip is the remote setting – eight wilderness areas, red rock slot canyons, approximately 4,000 miles of unpaved roads across large open spaces, and unstudied diverse cultural resources. Vast grass and shrub lands are used by 100 ranchers to graze approximately 20,000 head of cattle. There are 46 special status plan and wildlife species, including 15 federally-listed species. One hundred notices of intent to mine are expected each year. Its separation from the rest of Arizona demands active participation and partnership with Utah and Nevada, as well as Arizona. St. George, Utah has a population of approximately 48,000 and lies in the high desert at an elevation of 2,800 feet. Within 20 miles north and west of the city are the Pine Valley Mountain (10,000 feet) and the Beaver Dam Mountains (7,000 feet) offering cool mountain during the summer. Snow is rare. St. George is 45 minutes from Zion National Park and for those who enjoy winter sports, skiing is less than two hours away at Brian Head Resort and Bryce Canyon. Both are sites for the Utah Winter Games. Also nearby is Dixie State College, Southern Utah University, the Utah Shakespearean Festival, and the outdoor Tuacahn Amphitheater. St.

Priest Prepared in cooperation with the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management Pamphlet to accompany Miscellaneous Field Studies Map M2387 2002 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey INTRODUCTION The geologic map of the Hidden Hills and vicinity is part of a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. National Park Service at Grand Canyon National Park and Lake Mead National Recreational area, and the Bureau of Land Management, Arizona Strip Field Office, St. George, Utah, to provide geologic framework information of the Arizona Strip area of northwest Arizona. This geologic map depicts the Hidden Hills area, which is about 13 km (8 mi) north of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the western part of Grand Canyon National Park. This map completes one of the remaining areas where uniform quality geologic mapping at the 1:24,000-scale was needed to complete part of the Mount Trumbull 1:100,000-scale map of the Grand Canyon area. The map area includes part of the Sanup and Shivwits Plateaus of the southwestern Colorado Plateau and part of the Grand Wash Cliffs Wilderness Area. The geologic information in this report may be useful in other geologic or related scientific studies and resource land management programs such as range management and flood control for all federal and state agencies and private affairs. The map area lies in a remote region of the Arizona Strip of northwest Arizona about 64 km (40 mi) south of St.
