Rocky Mountain National Park Lyceum Series Continues March 13 & 20

Date: March 8, 2010 Contact: Kyle Patterson, 970-586-1363 2010 Lyceum Series “Wilderness: Of What Avail Are Forty Freedoms Without A Blank Spot On The Map?” Saturday, March 13, 7:00 p.m. - Our Great Nature In our ancient past, we were at one with nature, and nature was at one with us. As we progressed, we discovered we had the capacity for developing a human-centric world, filled with its own awes, wonders, amusements, and challenges. Today we stand at a predictable precipice, with one foot outside nature, and one foot still inside. Which way should we go? Thankfully, our hearts and our common sense tell us to keep a goodly portion of ourselves in contact with nature. Yet, there is another, perhaps more subtle but equally important need, the need to allow nature to be in communication with us. Join this special presentation and learn how. Mike Whatley is currently the Chief of the National Park Service’s Office of Education and Outreach, which is a part of the Service-wide Natural Resource Program Center. Although Mike’s program is a part of the Washington Office operation, he works in Fort Collins, along with some 200 other natural resource specialists. Mike has close to 40 years of experience with the National Park Service, and has had field ranger positions at Lake Meade, Sequoia-Kings Canyon, Grand Canyon, Morristown, and Cape Cod. He has also had a variety of international experiences including National Park Service assignments in Canada, Jordan, and Israel. Saturday, March 20, 7:00 p.m. - Monitoring Climate Change and Alpine Vegetation in the Wilderness of Rocky Mountain National Park The National Park Service has played an important role in the protection and preservation of high elevation mountain ecosystems due to their natural splendor, unique assemblages of flora and fauna, and their critical function as a source of water for much of the United States. Despite protection and wilderness designation, alpine systems are increasingly threatened by climate change and atmospheric pollution. The Wilderness Act states that “wilderness areas shall be devoted to the public purpose of recreational, scenic, scientific, educational, conservation, and historical use.” To promote education and science in wilderness areas and to better protect and understand alpine areas, the Rocky Mountain Inventory and Monitoring Network began monitoring alpine vegetation and climate change in Rocky Mountain National Park in 2008. With this effort, the park has joined an international network, the Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments (GLORIA), that monitors change in high-elevation mountains. This presentation will describe the importance of alpine ecosystems and the results from our initial monitoring efforts in Rocky Mountain National Park. Dr. Isabel Ashton, an ecologist with the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Inventory and Monitoring (I & M) Network in Fort Collins, will discuss the benefits and difficulties of monitoring wilderness and the role that the I&M Program plays in providing scientifically credible long-term data to aid in the management of wilderness areas within national parks. The I & M network has developed programs to monitor climate, grassland and alpine vegetation, wetlands, and the ecological integrity of streams for a grouping of western national park areas. Prior to working for the NPS, Dr. Ashton was a postdoctoral researcher at University of California, Irvine and Niwot Ridge Long-Term Ecological Research Site. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University and a doctorate degree in Ecology and Evolution from the State University of New York. In March, 2009, President Obama signed legislation providing additional protection to Rocky Mountain National Park by designating most of the park’s backcountry as wilderness, which encompasses roughly 95 percent of the park. Park staff joined the gateway communities of Grand Lake and Estes Park in welcoming the passage by the Congress of the wilderness designation for the park’s backcountry. This was the culmination of an effort that began in 1974 by President Richard Nixon and was jump started in recent years through the efforts of many. The theme of the 2010 Lyceum Series is “Wilderness: Of What Avail Are Forty Freedoms Without A Blank Spot On The Map?” the famous quote from Aldo Leopold. This year’s series will focus on how wilderness influences what we do as stewards of this incredible national park. Speakers will highlight what wilderness means spiritually, physically, as part of naturally functioning systems, as part of our psyche as a nation, and how it guides our decisions on management decisions at Rocky Mountain National Park. The Lyceum schedule runs through May. Financial support for the lyceum series is provided by the park’s nonprofit partner, the Rocky Mountain Nature Association. Programs are free and open to the public. They are held at 7:00 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center auditorium in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Salazar Joins Congressional Delegation, Local Leaders To Dedicate Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness Area

Date: April 9, 2009 Contact: Hugh Vickery, 202-501-4633 Contact: Kyle Patterson, 970-586-1363 ESTES PARK, Colorado – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar joined members of the Colorado congressional delegation and local officials today to dedicate the Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness Area, nearly 250,000 acres within the park that will be permanently protected from human impacts under the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009. Salazar also highlighted the Act’s designation of 210,000 acres of federal land on the Uncompahgre Plateau as a conservation area, including 65,000 acres as wilderness area, and the establishment of the South Park National Heritage Area at the headwaters of the South Platte River and the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area in the San Luis Valley. “With a single stroke of his pen, President Obama completed the work of so many Coloradans and other Americans who have sought to set aside this wilderness at Rocky Mountain National Park for more than three decades,” Salazar said. “He ensured our great-grandchildren and their great-grandchildren will visit a park that is like the park today – a vast and breathtaking landscape crafted by the forces of nature and undisturbed by the hand of humankind.” Salazar was joined by Senator Mark Udall, Senator Michael Bennet, Congresswoman Betsy Markey, former Congressman David Skaggs, former Estes Park Mayor John Baudek, Grand Lake Mayor Judy Burke, former Larimer County commissioner Karen Wagner, and many other community leaders who have worked for years to convince Congress to designate the wilderness. "Exploring this park gives one the sense of the majesty of the west and the solemnity of creation. It embodies the rugged beauty of Colorado, and it deserves to be granted this designation and the protection that comes with it," Senator Mark Udall said. "I have a personal family connection to this park through my grandfather as an outdoor guide, and I have hiked many of its trails, fished many of its streams, and climbed many of its peaks. It has taken a long trek to get here -- and it has taken the work of many people. But today, we have reached the summit, and I'm so proud that the reward is a park that generations of Americans will be able to enjoy." “Rocky Mountain National Park is home to some of Colorado’s most special places,” said Bennet. “By designating approximately 250,000 acres within RMNP as wilderness, we’re making good on our responsibility to protect, preserve and pass down some of Colorado’s most treasured landscapes for the enjoyment of generations of Americans to come.” “This bill represents years of hard work by so many committed stakeholders, from local communities to the federal government,” said Congresswoman Betsy Markey. “This measure will do much to protect Colorado’s public lands and water, which are critical to preserving Colorado’s way of life. Wilderness designation for Rocky Mountain National Park will also help bolster Colorado tourism, which is a huge economic driver for our state.” “The Rocky Mountain National Park wilderness area is one of the crown jewels of the public lands package recently signed by President Obama,” said Congressman Salazar. “These bills represent years of work and input from communities across my district and throughout Colorado. I was honored to work with my brother – first when he was in the Senate and now as Secretary of Interior - to do my part to help make these projects become a reality. They will help protect Colorado’s land, water, natural beauty for generations to come.” “It is a great day for Colorado to dedicate this crown jewel of national parks as a National Wilderness Area,” said Congressman Perlmutter. “I applaud our Congressional delegation, Sec. Salazar and the towns of Grand Lake and Estes Park for their hard work and commitment to preserving these lands for future generations to enjoy.” In March, President Obama signed the Act, which includes provisions to protect 2 million acres of wilderness in nine states and a thousand miles of rivers. The National Park Service first recommended the Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness designation in the 1970s but repeated attempts at Congressional passage fell short. The Act also obligates the federal government to pay 65 percent of the cost of building the 130-mile water delivery system from Pueblo Dam to communities throughout the Arkansas River Valley. Furthermore, it authorizes $8.25 million to rehabilitate the Jackson Gulch irrigation canal, which delivers water from Jackson Gulch Dam to residents, farms and businesses in Montezuma County. “Today is just the beginning. I believe we are at the start of the Obama era of conservation, an era I hope will rival the eras of Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy,” Salazar said. “In coming years, we will have many days like today when we join together to celebrate new partnerships and new successes in conserving our treasured landscapes.”

Lyceum Programs Through March 14

Date: February 25, 2009 Contact: Kyle Patterson, 970-586-1363 Saturday, February 28, 7:00 p.m. – Essence of Landscapes, My Love of Aspen Patty Hawkins, local artist and quilter, calls her art quilts fabric collages, abstracting nature. Experience her expression of the natural world, especially aspen trees, in this one hour program. Forest depth and mountain contour shape her creations. She adds visual texture with machine stitching; a layer of tulle creates shadows. She will share a wide variety of styles from “pole wrapped” pieces to dyed fabrics to organic screen prints. Patty describes the creative process as being “truly like chocolate cake, without the calories - just delicious!” Come see for yourself her beautiful artwork. Saturday, March 7, 7:00 p.m. - Small Mountain Owls Ornithologist and artist, Scott Rashid is inspired by the small owls that inhabit Rocky Mountain National Park; the Northern Pygmy-Owl, the Flammulated Owl, the Northern Saw-whet Owl and the Boreal Owl. Scott will present a brief description of the bird’s natural history then talk about how they have inspired his art. He will conclude his presentation by discussing his involvement with the rehabilitation of birds of prey. Scott has been passionate about owls ever since he saw his first Great Horned Owl in the early 1980s. He has been working with wild birds through banding since 1986 and rehabilitation since 1994. After moving to Colorado in 1989, he began banding, researching, and photographing a number of avian species including several species of owls, Rosy Finches, Band-tailed Pigeons, American Kestrels, Sharp-shinned Hawks, Coo­per’s Hawks, Northern Goshawks, and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds. He has been drawing and painting birds since child­hood. In 2002, he illustrated the book Birding Rocky Moun­tain National Park, written by Scott Roederer. He also illustrated a Wilson’s Snipe on the cover of the Wilson Journal of Ornithology. Working primarily in watercolor, he has painted numer­ous North American bird species with a major interest in hawks and owls. His art is in numerous private collections throughout North America and Europe. Since 1997, Scott has managed a permanent banding station at the YMCA of the Rockies just south of Estes Park. During the banding sessions, he traps and bands a variety species including warblers, sparrows, hawks, owls, and even hummingbirds. Saturday, March 14, 7:00 p.m. - Motivations of a Wood Carver Art can be a deeply personal form of expression. Hear from Loveland woodcarver Paul Price about where he finds inspiration for his popular caricatures, critters, and hiking sticks. A little basswood or butternut, a good carving knife, and an eye for detail are just the starting points for his wood creations. Several of Paul's pieces will be on display before and after the program. Self described as “deep down a geek,” Paul is a computer scientist of 25 years with training in software engineering and artificial intelligence. He currently works for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Fort Collins, managing several terabytes of information. He mentions, “All of this Left-Brain stuff is fun, but for a long time I felt something was missing. In the 1990’s, I rediscovered art as a way to satisfy the other half of my brain, and got serious about wood carving.” He normally carves with wood and occasionally draws or works in clay. His favorite subjects are caricatures. Wildlife “critters,” Santa Claus and hiking sticks are other common themes. Paul is the founder and current president of the Loveland Carving Club. The theme of the 2009 Lyceum Series is “Celebrate our Natural World: Artists Who Are Inspired by the Environment.” This year’s series has a cultural focus. The presentations will highlight how the natural world influences and inspires artists. Artists of all types: singers, musicians, painters, sculptors, woodcarvers, performance artists, writers, quilters and photographers will be involved in this year’s Lyceum. The Lyceum schedule runs from January 17 to May 16, 2009. Financial support for the lyceum series is provided by the park’s nonprofit partner, the Rocky Mountain Nature Association. Programs are free and open to the public. They are held at 7:00 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center auditorium in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Explore Rocky Mountain National Park During the Winter

Date: January 3, 2007 Contact: Kyle Patterson, 970-586-1363 For many visitors, winter is their favorite season to enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park. The park is less visited but still very much open and alive with activity. Beautiful backcountry areas can be reached on snowshoes, skis, and at lower elevations - even with hiking boots! Elk, coyotes, deer, snowshoe hares, and other wildlife remain active through the winter. Their story is told by the tracks left in the snow. For those visitors who are prepared, winter is an enchanting time to explore the park. Snowshoeing and skiing are fun ways to experience the backcountry of Rocky Mountain National Park. This winter, join a park ranger on a snowshoeing excursion! Rocky Mountain National Park offers ranger-led snowshoe walks for beginner level snowshoers every winter weekend through March 31 on the east side, and for beginner and intermediate level snowshoers through March 11 on the west side of the park. Snowshoeing is easy to learn and opens up a new way to see the beauty of nature during its quietest season. No additional fees are charged to participate in these walks. For beginners, the snowshoe program is a two-hour program that explores the natural world of the subalpine forest. No previous snowshoe experience is required. This walk is held on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m. through March 31 on the east side of the park. The two-hour beginner snowshoe program on the west side is held on Sundays at 1:00 p.m. through March 11. For more experienced snowshoers, a two-hour snowshoe walk is offered on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. through March 10 on the west side of the park. Previous snowshoeing experience is required, because of the elevation gain, mileage and terrain covered in this program. Ranger-led cross country ski tours are offered on the west side of the park on Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. through February 24. Participants ski a snow-draped landscape and learn about the Kawuneeche Valley. All snowshoe walks require reservations. Reservations can be made in advance, seven days or less prior to the desired walk. Participants must furnish their own equipment, including poles with baskets, and be at least 8 years old. To make reservations for east side snowshoe walks, call the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center at (970) 586-1223 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. daily. To make reservations for west side snowshoe walks call the Kawuneeche Visitor Center at (970) 627-3471 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. daily. Reservations are not required for ski trips on the west side. Frontcountry and backcountry camping takes place in the winter too! Longs Peak Campground and designated sections of Moraine Park and Timber Creek Campgrounds are open all winter; however, water is not available at the campgrounds. Permits are required for all backcountry camping and allowed in designated areas only. Sledding activities can be enjoyed in Rocky Mountain National Park in the Hidden Valley area. Beginning last winter, sledding was no longer allowed at Bear Lake. Hidden Valley slopes have been contoured to enhance the safety of sledding and other snowplay activities. Facilities at Hidden Valley include a warming hut and heated restrooms. This area is also a good base location for visitors interested in backcountry skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing in the undeveloped areas in and around Hidden Valley. Whenever visiting Rocky Mountain National Park to snowshoe, ski or hike, stop by a visitor center or call (970) 586-1206 for current trail, road, snow and avalanche conditions. Come enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park in the winter!

Trail Ridge Road Construction

Date: February 26, 2007 Contact: Kyle Patterson, 970-586-1363 Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road in the continental United States, is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year. This awe inspiring road needs work that is long overdue and will begin this spring. The project will focus on critical repairs such as resurfacing the road from Deer Ridge Junction to Rainbow Curve, and six roadway slump repairs between Forest Canyon Overlook and the Colorado River Trailhead. Because Trail Ridge Road reaches an elevation of 12,183 feet, the only time to do work is during the summer. Park Service staff and the contractor will do their best to complete this major roadwork in a timely manner, on budget, and allow access to visitors. Following is important information about the upcoming road work. From April 1 through May 24, Trail Ridge Road will be closed at Deer Ridge Junction approximately 8 miles west of Estes Park at the junction of U.S. Highways 34 and 36. The closure will be in effect from Mondays at 6:00 a.m. through Saturdays at 6:00 a.m. The road will be open on Saturdays and Sundays. Weather permitting, Trail Ridge Road will open on the Friday before Memorial Day, May 25, not prior, due to construction. From May 29 through June 29, work will take place from Deer Ridge Junction to Rainbow Curve. During this phase, park visitors can expect 20 to 30 minute delays. There may be multiple areas of construction occurring concurrently and in that case the combined delay time will not exceed 60 minutes. From July 5 through the end of the season, night closures from Forest Canyon Overlook to Alpine Visitor Center will occur. Night closures will be in effect from 10:00 p.m. through 6:00 a.m., beginning Sunday evening and ending Friday morning. Night closures will not occur on Friday and Saturday nights. Due to high traffic on Trail Ridge Road during the day, night work is the only way the contractor can finish the project during the summer. Federal Highway Administration counters located at Forest Canyon have indicated only a dozen vehicles typically travel over Trail Ridge Road during these times. From July 5 through the end of the season, in addition to night closures, park visitors can expect 20 to 30 minute delays on Trail Ridge Road. There may be multiple areas of construction occurring concurrently, and in that case the combined delay time will not exceed 60 minutes. Although the majority of work will be done at night, some work, such as resurfacing, can only be done during the day due to temperature requirements. All closures apply to cyclists as well. Cyclists should be prepared for rough road conditions. Conditions permitting, Old Fall River Road should open on June 30. Old Fall River Road will remain open at night with current one way status allowing travel from east to west only. The Federal Highway Administration awarded a $10.1 million contract to Kiewit Western Company and is administrating this project on behalf of the National Park Service. Kiewit was the contractor for the successful, major Bear Lake Road reconstruction project that took place in the park during 2003 and 2004. Funds are from the Federal Lands Highway Program. Please check at a park visitor center, entrance station, or call the Rocky Mountain National Park information office at (970) 586-1206 for up-to-date information on road delays.

Search In Longs Peak Area Continues For Yambert Separate Rescue Effort Takes Place In Search Area

Date: August 30, 2018 Contact: Kyle Patterson, Public Affairs Officer, (970) 586-1363 Contact: Park Information, (970) 586-1206 This morning search efforts continued for Jens “Jay” Yambert. After hearing about the search for Yambert, park staff have heard from visitors who saw Yambert on Monday morning, August 27, along the Keyhole Route. Visitors indicated that the weather was poor with ice, sleet, rain, and strong winds. Park staff greatly appreciate information that visitors are providing. Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue Team members continue today to search for Yambert in a variety of areas including the Keyhole Route, Keplinger’s Couloir, The Loft, Chasm Lake and the Roaring Fork area. Aviation resources were not available today for aerial surveillance. In a separate incident - late last night Emma Long, 23, of Houston, Texas, was reported by a friend as overdue in the Longs Peak area. Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue Team members incorporated search efforts in the Keyhole Route area for Long as well as Yambert. These efforts were underway early this morning, when park visitors notified rangers that they were assisting a female who indicated she had fallen at some time in the preceding 24 hours above the Keyhole. Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue members arrived on scene at 9:30 a.m. Long suffered serious injuries from the fall. Search and Rescue team members and visitors moved her via litter to The Boulder Field where a Flight For Life air ambulance from Colorado Springs flew her at 11:10 a.m. to St. Anthony’s Hospital in Denver. On Tuesday, August 28, Rocky Mountain National Park rangers were notified by a family member that Jens “Jay” Yambert, 60, of Urbana, Illinois, was overdue. Yambert is believed to have started from the Longs Peak Trailhead at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 26. His rental car was found at the trailhead last night after park staff were notified by his family that he was overdue. It was unknown what Yambert’s planned destination or route was. Yesterday, Wednesday, August 29, members of Rocky Mountain National Park’s Search and Rescue team began searching the Longs Peak area including Clark’s Arrow, the Boulder Field, North Face, Lamb’s Slide and Peacock Pool. Aerial surveillance also occurred with assistance from Northern Colorado Helitack. From visitor descriptions, Yambert was wearing a black raincoat, gray shorts with high black socks, yellow gloves, sandals and a blue/gray backpack. He was carrying trekking poles. Park rangers would like to hear from anyone who has been in the Longs Peak or Mount Meeker area since Sunday, August 26, particularly on the Keyhole Route, Keplinger’s Couloir, The Loft, Chasm Lake, Clark’s Arrow and the Roaring Fork area. Please call (970) 586-1204.

Beaver Meadows Visitor Center And Parking Lot Closed Thursday, September 12 Night Striping Work Continues On Bear Lake Road

Date: September 6, 2019 Contact: Kyle Patterson, Public Affairs Officer, (970) 586-1363 Contact: Park Information, (970) 586-1206 Beginning at 9 p.m. Wednesday, September 11, the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center Parking Area and the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center will be closed to all uses for a pavement preservation project. The visitor center and parking lot will reopen by 8 a.m. Friday, September 13. The parking lot was initially paved in July but unfortunately will be redone due to the quality of the product. Weather and conditions permitting, night work will occur for road striping on Bear Lake Road Monday night, September 9, and Tuesday night, September 10, from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. This may occur on Wednesday night, September 11, as well. Bear Lake Road will remain open. Expect extreme delays on the road during these days and time periods, as traffic will not be allowed to pass the painting operation. Park visitors are strongly encouraged to avoid Bear Lake Road during these time periods. Micro resurfacing will continue September 9 through September 13 from the Colorado River Trailhead to the Grand Lake Entrance, weather and conditions permitting. Each day, single lane closures of 2 miles will exist with pilot car operations and wait times of 20 minutes. Delays could extend beyond 20 minutes depending on the volume of vehicles. Adjacent parking lots will be closed for the day when work passes that area to allow parking lots and pullouts to be resurfaced and to avoid vehicles being trapped behind fresh micro seal. Beginning the week of September 16 through late September, fog sealing will take place on areas that have been micro-sealed including Trail Ridge Road and Bear Lake Road. Expect 20 minute delays, possibly longer depending on the volume of vehicles during this time. This important project is critical for the long term protection of park roads and parking areas. Due to the elevation of Rocky Mountain National Park and temperatures, resurfacing pavement projects can only take place in the summer. Work will not take place during the weekends or holidays. For further information about Rocky Mountain National Park, please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Compelling Stories and Beautiful Scenery

Date: March 5, 2007 Contact: Kyle Patterson, 970-586-1363 National Park Service Historian Richard West Sellars will speak at Beaver Meadows Visitor Center Auditorium in Rocky Mountain National Park on Tuesday, March 13, 2007. The talk titled “Past Perfect?: Preserving Nature and History in the National Parks” will start at 2 pm and is open and free to the public. The talk is the inaugural Randy Jones Memorial Lecture, jointly sponsored by the University of Colorado’s Center of the American West and the National Park Service. Sellars will discuss the history of the National Park Service’s management of natural and cultural resources. He will talk about the National Park Service Act of 1916 and the tension between public use and enjoyment of national parks and preservation of natural resources. Focusing on the 1916 Act’s mandate to leave the parks “unimpaired,” Sellars will show how the understanding of this mandate by the National Park Service shifted from its original focus on scenery and aesthetics to a broader ecological definition–and what impact this shifting had on the National Park Service’s management priorities and organizational power structure. In addressing cultural resources, Sellars will focus on concerns for resource integrity and authenticity–directly related to the mandate to leave the parks “unimpaired.” He will illustrate some of the complex preservation issues the National Park Service has faced, using as examples Southwestern archaeological sites; presidential homes such as the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt in New York state, the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park in Texas (where Randy Jones once served as superintendent); and memorial sites such as the Lincoln Birthplace in Kentucky, and the Lincoln Boyhood Home in Indiana. As keepers of historic places of great importance, the National Park Service is obligated to preserve the resources unimpaired, while making them available for the public to understand the sites’ history and significance. Dr. Sellars is a historian with the National Park Service in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is the author of Preserving Nature in the National Parks: A History. This publication was the chief catalyst for the “Natural Resource Challenge”– a multi-year budget initiative by Congress to revitalize natural resource management and science in the national parks. To date, the initiative has resulted in a cumulative total of just under a half-billion dollars commitment. Preserving Nature, which has received international notice, is a critical study of the conflicts between traditional scenery-and-tourism management and emerging ecological concepts in the national parks, and analyzes the management of fires, predators, elk, bear, and other natural phenomena in the National Parks. Currently, Dr. Sellars is preparing a companion study to Preserving Nature–a history of evolving policies and practices in the management of historic and prehistoric sites in the National Park System. His articles on American history and on cultural and natural resource preservation have appeared in numerous publications, including The Washington Post, Wilderness, National Parks, Journal of Forestry, and Landscape. The Center of the American West takes as its mission the creation of forums for the respectful exchange of ideas and perspectives in the pursuit of solutions to the region's difficulties. The lecture series honors past park superintendent Randy Jones, who had a reputation for negotiation and mediation. Randy’s long and distinguished career with the federal government spanned over 30 years, primarily with the National Park Service. From 2002 until spring of 2005, Randy held the position of Deputy Director, the highest position for a career employee within the National Park Service, at the agency headquarters in Washington, D.C. Randy’s diverse career consisted of a number of complex and prestigious assignments including Superintendent of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Randy was among the leaders of the Natural Resource Challenge initiative for the National Park Service and was instrumental in increasing federal spending on natural resource management in the parks.

Bear Lake Road Reconstruction Begins in Rocky Mountain National Park

Date: February 22, 2012 Contact: Kyle Patterson, (970) 586-1363 Bear Lake Road is one of the most popular scenic roads in Rocky Mountain National Park and provides year-round visitor access to a variety of wonderful recreational opportunities. More than 2 million visitors a year are estimated to drive on Bear Lake Road and last year over 440,000 riders took advantage of the shuttle buses along the corridor. Beginning on March 5, visitors should expect major construction work on the lower section of the road for the next two years. The construction will take place on Bear Lake Road from the junction of Trail Ridge Road/Highway 36 to the Park & Ride - Glacier Basin Campground intersection, covering 5.1 miles. The work will be similar in scope and impacts as the first phase of reconstruction on Bear Lake Road which was completed in 2004, and took place on the upper 4.3 mile section of road. This major project will involve construction of significant retaining walls to improve safety and drainage. In addition, a 0.9 mile section will be rerouted away from Glacier Creek, in order to prevent impacts to wetlands and riparian habitat and reduce costs. Repairs will be made on the Big Thompson Bridge to improve safety. Structural deficiencies will be corrected in the roadway and inadequate parking and pullout design will be improved. This project will widen the road and improve the road surface to better accommodate park shuttle buses. Safety associated with winter snow removal will be enhanced by the wider road. Beginning on March 5, park visitors should expect at least one 30 minute delay, Monday through Friday, on the lower section of Bear Lake Road. As the construction proceeds, visitors should expect rough road conditions. From May 29, through October 9, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Bear Lake Road, approximately one mile west of Moraine Park Visitor Center to Bear Lake, will be accessible by free shuttle bus only, seven days a week. Private vehicles will be allowed both directions prior to 9:00 a.m. and after 4:00 p.m. Visitors in private vehicles, who make the 9:00 a.m. cutoff time, will be allowed to travel eastbound throughout the day. All visitors, in private vehicles or shuttle buses, should expect at least two 20-minute delays both west and eastbound through the construction area. There will be no construction delays between Park & Ride and Bear Lake. There may be night closures during the construction. Night closures will be announced at least two weeks prior to occurring. The park's three shuttle routes will be modified during the construction. The Bear Lake Route will run between Moraine Park Visitor Center and Bear Lake with stops at Hollowell Park, Park & Ride, Bierstadt Bus Stop, Glacier Gorge Trailhead and Bear Lake. The Moraine Park Route will run between the Moraine Park Visitor Center and the Fern Lake bus stop with stops at Moraine Park Campground, Cub Lake Trailhead and Fern Lake bus stop. The first bus will depart from the Moraine Park Visitor Center at 7:00 a.m. and the last bus will leave at 7:00 p.m. The last bus of the day will leave Bear Lake and Fern Lake Trailheads at 7:30 p.m. Bear Lake Route buses will run every 15 minutes but may be delayed during periods of road construction. Moraine Park Route buses will run every 20 minutes. The Hiker Shuttle Route will make stops at the Estes Park Fairgrounds Parking Lot, the Estes Park Visitor Center, the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center, and the Moraine Park Visitor Center where passengers will transfer to either the Bear Lake Route or the Moraine Park Route. The first bus will leave the Town of Estes Park Visitor Center at 6:30 a.m. and the last bus will leave the Moraine Park Visitor Center bound for Estes Park at 8:00 p.m. The Hiker Shuttle will run on an hourly schedule early and late in the day; switching to a half hour schedule from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Most facilities along Bear Lake Road will be available to the public during the reconstruction project. However, Glacier Basin Campground and the Tuxedo Park picnic area and shuttle stop will be closed. Numerous pull-off areas may be closed at times during the construction. Moraine Park Visitor Center will be open, however visitors should expect congestion and very limited parking. Visitors should also expect congestion and limited parking at the popular picnic and angler area in lower Moraine Park, north of the Big Thompson River. During the next two years, visitors who plan to go to the Bear Lake area will have easier access if they plan ahead, hike early or hike late, and carpool. All trailheads along the Bear Lake Corridor, the Park & Ride, Moraine Park Visitor Center and Beaver Meadows Visitor Center have limited parking spaces available. For those visitors who want to access the Bear Lake area between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the best option will be to park in Estes Park at the parking lot near the Fairgrounds or the Estes Park Visitor Center and take the Hiker Shuttle in to Rocky Mountain National Park. Rocky Mountain National Park is approaching its Centennial anniversary in 2015. Bear Lake Road was completed in 1928 and until 2003, no significant improvements were made. No major road work has taken place on the lower section for more than 80 years. When this project is complete, just prior to the park's hundredth anniversary, it will conclude over 47 miles of critical improvements on park roads since 2003. The Federal Highway Administration awarded a $23.4 million contract to American Civil Constructors and is administering this project on behalf of the National Park Service. American Civil Constructors is based in Littleton, Colorado. The overall cost of the project is $27.7 million. This project involves 5.1 miles of road and access to another 4.3 miles. There are 110 miles of road in the park. This project does not include Trail Ridge Road. Information on the Bear Lake Road Reconstruction Project will be available at www.nps.gov/romo, the park's recorded road status line (970) 586-1222 or through the park's Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Three Individuals Recognized for Their Leadership In Protecting Park Resources

Date: August 4, 2009 Contact: Kyle Patterson, 970-586-1363 Rocky Mountain National Park Superintendent Vaughn Baker announced that Karl Cordova, Karen Battle-Sanborn and Jim Freeman are the recipients of the 2008 Rocky Mountain National Park Stewardship Award. The National Park Service proudly presents the Stewardship Award to outstanding individuals and organizations that contribute significantly to the stewardship of the park and the surrounding environment. These three individuals were selected for this award in recognition of their leadership in the settlement claim of the Grand River Ditch breach, the largest natural resource damage payment in the history of the Park System Resource Protection Act (19jj). The Grand Ditch is a trans-basin water diversion project that takes water from the Colorado River Basin and transports it to the South Platte River Basin. A 14-plus mile portion of the ditch is located within the park. On May 30, 2003, a breach in the ditch bank and ensuing flood waters severely injured more than 20 acres of pristine park land and destroyed wetlands on the west side of the park. Due to the extent of damages to park and visitor resources, the NPS developed a claim as defined by 16 U.S.C. 19jj and the 1907 liability stipulation to restore injuries to park resources. The United States’ claim was filed in federal court (Colorado District) by Department of Justice on August 31, 2006 and on May 5, 2008 the Water Supply and Storage Company, a mutual ditch company and the owner and operator of the Grand River Ditch, agreed to pay $9 million for damages to natural resources within Rocky Mountain National Park caused by the breach. The settlement proceeds will be used to restore areas in Rocky Mountain National Park. Superintendent Baker noted, “These three individuals played a significant role in making this settlement possible. Karl Cordova, former Supervisory Biologist at the park and now Superintendent at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, was a key leader in the assessment of the injuries to park property. Karen Battle-Sanborn, Damage Assessment Case Officer with the National Park Service Environmental Response Damage Assessment and Restoration Division, was a key leader in the assessment of the injuries to park property and was part of the claim from its inception until its settlement. Karl and Karen’s efforts provided a scientifically sound foundation for restoration of the breach site. Jim Freeman, Trial Attorney with the US Department of Justice - Environment and Natural Resources Division, was a key leader in the preparation of the claim, integrating all aspects of the assessment of the injuries to park property into the case. Jim’s efforts provided a strong case in support of restoration of the breach site. The collective teamwork of these three individuals was essential in making this notable settlement occur.” Past recipients of the park’s stewardship award include: The Colorado Air Quality Control Commission, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Air Pollution Control Division, the Environmental Protection Agency – Region 8, and the National Park Service – Air Resources Division, in recognition of their collaborative support in advancing the long-term protection of the park by assisting in preparing the Rocky Mountain National Park – Nitrogen Deposition Reduction Plan. The Towns of Estes Park and Grand Lake, for support in advancing the long-term protection of Rocky Mountain National Park. Bureau of Land Management – Kremmling Field Office, for coordinating a complicated land exchange that enabled the park to preserve and protect a particular tract of land in its undisturbed state for wildlife habitat. The National Trust for Historic Preservation, for the protection of The McGraw Ranch Historic District and other historic resources in Rocky Mountain National Park. The Rocky Mountain Nature Association, for preserving natural and cultural resources and contributing greatly to the education of millions of people who visit the park and for its lasting and outstanding contributions to the mission of the park. The Estes Valley Land Trust, for preserving open space in the Estes Valley and for adding to the park through protecting adjacent lands. The Estes Park Chapter, League of Women Voters, for its critical role in achieving a ban on commercial tour overflights above Rocky Mountain National Park. James Disney, former Larimer County Commissioner, for his advocacy of protecting and preserving Colorado’s public lands, particularly Rocky Mountain National Park. John Fielder, in recognition of his two-year long project of photographically recording all of Rocky Mountain National Park’s lakes, and for his many years of advocacy for America’s wild places. The Shining Mountain Group of the Colorado Mountain Club for its years of volunteer work including removing trash from the park, trimming back vegetation along park roads and trails, assisting with a parkwide visitor use survey and removing barbed wire fencing that posed danger to park wildlife and visitors. Two co-recipients – (1) Pieter Hondius, Estes Park businessman and developer, for his efforts in establishing the Estes Valley Land Trust, an organization that encourages land donations by private citizens to help preserve open spaces in the area; and (2) Lurline Curran, Kremmling resident and Grand County (CO) planner, for her work in promoting development on private lands adjacent to the park that is compatible with the national park’s scenic grandeur.

Rocky Mountain National Park Hosts Estes Valley Summer Solstice Bird Count With Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory And Sister Parks In Costa Rica

News Release Date: September 8, 2015 Birds have begun their migration south! But before they began their flights to more tropical locations, Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) and its partners the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (RMBO) and its sister parks in Costa Rica collaborated to conduct a summer solstice bird count, held on June 20, 2015. Much like the winter solstice bird count, commonly known to many in the United States as the Christmas Bird Count, this effort worked with volunteers to count the numbers of birds and diversity of species within and near RMNP and Estes Park. Different than the winter solstice counting efforts, this event documented the diversity of migratory species at the park while a simultaneous effort took place documenting resident birds in protected areas in the Cordillera de Tilaran area of Costa Rica. Rocky Mountain National Park is a designated globally important bird area and visitors from around the world 'flock' to the park for the opportunity to see unique birds found in the Southern Rocky Mountains along the Continental Divide. Protected areas in the Cordillera de Tilaran area of Costa Rica also have globally important bird areas and are internationally known for their diversity of birds. Both areas share a common bond with migratory birds that breed in Rocky Mountain National Park and winter in Costa Rica and on June 20, 2015, they hosted a simultaneous summer solstice bird count. This spirit of international cooperation connect migratory birds to important bird areas and assist managers in protecting birds and their habitat for generations to come. Knowing that many birds that breed in Rocky Mountain National Park are migratory and only spend a short period of time here, it is important to learn more about the pathways these birds use. Questions asked by visitors include: What paths do birds that breed in the park actually use during migration and where do they winter? Do they stop over, or winter in other national parks and protected areas? Specific migratory pathways, stop-over sites, and wintering areas for most North American breeding species have not been documented simply because no available technology for tracking small birds existed until the development of geolocators. Geolocators mounted on the back of small songbirds store times of sunrise and sunset in a data logger and that information can be used to calculate latitude and longitude. Until this technological breakthrough, ornithologists relied on infrequent recaptures of banded birds at scattered banding stations to understand migratory routes. In 2012, Rocky Mountain National Park and Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory initiated a project to investigate the migration patterns of Swainson's Thrush and Western Tanagers at Rocky Mountain National Park using geolocator technology. The first two years of field work started in 2012, resulting in ten Western Tanagers being captured and outfitted with geolocators, and in 2013, one Swainson's Thrush was captured and outfitted with a geolocater. In 2013, four tagged tanagers returned to territories occupied in 2012, of which two were recaptured and in 2014, the Swainson's Thrush returned and was recaptured. Data from recovered geolocators produced maps showing migration routes, stop-over sites, and wintering areas for both tanagers and the thrush. The Western Tanagers migrated through southeast New Mexico and western Texas as stop-over locations and southern Mexico and portions of Northern Guatemala as wintering areas. The Swainson's Thrush migrated south close to the Continental Divide, passing through Costa Rica, wintered in Venezuela and passed through Costa Rica and then over the Gulf of Mexico coming ashore in Southern Texas during its Northward migration.This information represents the only thoroughly documented migration route for Western Tanagers throughout their range and a rare glimpse into a Swainson's Thrush migration between the Rocky Mountains and South America. The Western Tanagers and the Swainson's Thrush were recaptured within 50 to 100 meters where they were initially caught; fascinating to learn that these birds traveled thousands of miles north and south to return to the exact same location to breed. In March of 2014, staff from Rocky met with RMBO and Costa Rica park professionals at a meeting hosted by the Santa Elena Cloud Forest in Monteverde Costa Rica. During this meeting, which focused on shared conservation of migratory species, it was agreed to conduct simultaneous bird counts during the summer solstice at Rocky Mountain National Park and winter solstice in Costa Rica to advance our understanding of migratory birds in both locations. Both areas have done Christmas Bird Counts for many years and document that many species of birds, who breed in Rocky Mountain National Park, winter in the central area of Costa Rica. However, no count had ever been done using the same technique to document the birds in their breeding habitat, while they are absent in Costa Rica. The results of the June 20 bird count documented 109 avian species and 4,221 birds. Of those 109 species, 39 (36 percent) are known to occur in Costa Rica. Additionally, a new species to the park was documented, the Pacific Wren, which was an unexpected find! Protected areas in the Cordillera de Tilaran area documented over 200 species in their bird count while they were experiencing a tropical storm with heavy rainfall, and as expected noted that the migratory birds that winter there and summer in RMNP were absent. Of interest, they documented some birds that breed in South America during their summer were in Costa Rica during South America's winter. Costa Rica plays an important role for not only wintering North American birds, but also wintering South American birds. Costa Rica, which is an amazing biological diverse country, has 27 percent of its land mass in protected areas and is critically important for migratory birds in two continents.

Major Construction Project To Begin At The Fall River Entrance In Rocky Mountain National Park

Date: October 24, 2022 Contact: Kyle Patterson, Public Affairs Officer Contact: Park Information Office, (970) 586-1206 Construction will begin the week of October 31, for a new and improved entrance station at the Fall River Entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The Fall River Entrance is one of two major entrance stations on the east side of the park and is located on U.S. Highway 34, just inside the park boundary. During this major construction project, only one lane at Fall River Entrance will be operational to enter the park and one lane to exit. Park visitors are strongly encouraged to avoid the Fall River Entrance and use the Beaver Meadows Entrance. During this major project, park visitors should expect extended wait times at both major east side entrance stations. Weather and resources depending, the project should be completed by late June. Originally designed for summer operations nearly 60 years ago, the facilities at the Fall River Entrance Station no longer meet the safety or operational needs of the park. When the entrance station was designed, the park had approximately one and a half million annual visitors. By 2019, annual visitation almost tripled, to over four and a half million annual visitors. Improvements are needed to improve visitor access and convenience, reduce traffic congestion, and provide a safe and efficient space for park employees. A fast pass lane will be added, along with road widening which should improve visitor wait times and experience while entering through the Fall River Entrance. A new office and three kiosks, with proper ventilation, will be constructed. In addition, a new entrance sign will be installed which will include a small formal parking area. An additional project will rehabilitate and replace components of the wastewater and water systems serving the Fall River Entrance and Bighorn Ranger Station. The on-site wastewater treatment system will be replaced, and other upgrades will occur. Many aspects of the water system will be replaced, and the water treatment building will be improved. A culvert crossing Fall River Road is severely deteriorated and does not meet 100-year flood standards, it will be upgraded and replaced during this project as well. The Fall River Visitor Center will remain open with winter hours of 9 am to 4:30 p.m. seven days a week. For further information about Rocky Mountain National Park, please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

The presentation is the outcome of decades of one photographer’s effort and experience in making memorable images of this beloved national park. Frank has come to discover that this accessible wilderness is a sensual treasure chest, a delight (and at times, challenge) for the senses, a resource of thought and a wellspring of inspiration, not only for artists or philosophers, but for everyone. Landscapes, skies, peaks, lakes, rivers, wildflowers and wildlife will all be featured. As an extra treat, photos of the park’s sister, Tatra National Park, shared by both Slovakia and Poland in eastern Europe, will be shown. Frank will describe the creation of his two recent books, co-authored with R. Paul Firnhaber, Magic in the Mountains: Estes Park, Colorado, and the soon-to-be-released Rocky Mountain National Park: Colorado’s Living Legacy. Join us in celebrating nature’s inspiration with this awe-inspiring display of image and word. Frank will show many of his favorite photographs, those which speak to the grandeur and subtlety of one of America’s most spectacular national parks. James Frank is an interpreter of nature and creator of simple and dynamic images. His photographs display a thoughtful understanding of the nuances of light and atmosphere, and their effect upon tone, color and the expression of a subject. Practicing keen observation of our natural world, he combines an extraordinary eye for design with patience and determination when making photographs. For thirty years James has lived near Rocky Mountain National Park, photographing the unique beauty of this majestic place in all its moods and seasons. The photographs of James Frank have been published editorially in numerous books and magazines. His commercial credits include such clients as LL Bean, American Express, Denver Mattress Company, DuPont and many more. Currently, many of Frank’s photographs are represented world wide by Stock Connection in Rockville, Maryland. He and his wife, Tamara Jarolimek, are co-owners of James Frank Photography, Inc., a stock and assignment photo company, Estes Park Vacationland, the magazine guide for Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, and Our Natural Heritage Publishing, LLC. There have been five books published about Colorado places featuring Frank’s work. The most recent, Magic in the Mountains: Estes Park, Colorado, is graced with over 300 photographs and includes text by R. Paul Firnhaber, another long-time Estes Park resident and accomplished author. Three other titles - James Frank’s Colorado, A Portrait of Rocky Mountain National Park and A Portrait of Pikes Peak Country, quickly became regional best sellers upon their earlier releases. Admirers have described his photographs as “poetic,” “lyrical,” and “spiritual.” With his photographs, Frank strives to engage the viewer through emotion, recollection and intellect. His photographs excel at telling stories, showing natural wonders, illustrating concepts and sharing decisive moments. Through photography he successfully blends visual artistry and a desire to communicate with his love for the outdoors.

Get Involved! Opportunity for Continued Public Involvement in Long-Range Visitor Use Management Planning for Rocky Mountain National Park

Date: November 22, 2022 Contact: Kyle Patterson, Public Affairs Officer Contact: Park Information Office, (970) 586-1206 Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) staff are seeking the public’s continued engagement and input on the park’s long-range Day Use Visitor Access Strategy. For 107 years, Rocky Mountain National Park has been a place of inspiration, reflection, wonder, history, and wilderness adventure. Park visitors across the United States and the world continue to come to Rocky Mountain National Park to discover a wide variety of experiences found only in this incredible place. “In the summer of 2021, we invited you to join us in envisioning the future of Day Use Visitor Access at RMNP. Your feedback was instrumental in helping National Park Service (NPS) staff develop preliminary management strategies. We are now working to outline ideas for management strategies to help the NPS to both protect park resources and values while also providing for high-quality visitor experiences for today's visitors and for future generations,” said Park Superintendent, Darla Sidles. Park staff are eager to continue engaging with stakeholders and connect with park visitors from near and far, to help identify ideas and strategies to assist the park prepare for long-term day use. We hope to hear from members of the public who have recently visited the park, as well as those who have told us they no longer visit Rocky Mountain National Park because of crowding and congestion. Park staff invite members of the public to submit their comments via the park’s Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) website at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/ROMO_DUVAS beginning December 12, 2022, through February 1, 2023. Rocky Mountain National Park has experienced a 44 percent increase in visitation since 2012. Rapid growth in day use visitation and changing use patterns in the park have degraded natural and cultural resources, diminished quality of the visitor experience, increased visitor and staff safety concerns, and created a heavy strain on the park’s facilities and ability to perform daily operations. The purpose of the Rocky Mountain National Park Day Use Visitor Access Strategy is to provide visitor access in a way that enhances the protection of the fundamental resources and values for which the park was created. The goal of the process is to identify strategies that will help protect park resources, offer varied opportunities for high quality visitor experiences, enhance visitor and staff safety, and coincide with the park's operational capacity. The park is hosting a public open house on Tuesday, December 6, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the Estes Park Museum in Estes Park, CO. This open house will provide an opportunity to drop in, meet with NPS staff, and learn more about the potential ideas and strategies to address long term day use at RMNP. There will not be any formal presentations scheduled during this time. Please feel free to drop in at any time. The park is also hosting a virtual public meeting on Thursday, December 15, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The intent of the webinar is to provide opportunities for the public to learn more about the purpose of the project, key ideas, issues of concern, desired conditions for the park’s long-term day use visitor access, potential management strategies, ask questions of NPS staff and get information on how to provide formal written comments through the Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) website. The webinar will open with a presentation, followed by a question and answer session. To participate in the virtual meeting, please register at the following link. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Teams Webinar. It is recommended to join the webinar via computer to have full use of the webinar tools that Teams provides. Registration URL https://forms.office.com/g/UiRnA5kZsb Unable to attend the virtual meeting? A recording of the meeting will be posted on the park planning link below. The park will provide live captioning of the meetings. Park staff encourage public participation throughout the planning process.

Trail Ridge Road Closes For The Season To Through Traffic

Date: October 25, 2021 Contact: Kyle Patterson Contact: Park Information Office, (970) 586-1206 Today, Monday, October 25, Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park officially closed for the season to through travel. Many popular driving destinations for this time of year including Bear Lake Road, Moraine Park, Horseshoe Park and the section of Trail Ridge Road along the Kawuneeche Valley, are all open. Trail Ridge Road is not designed to be an all-season road, with 11 miles above 11,500 feet, few guard rails and no shoulders. Winter conditions of drifting snow, high winds and below- freezing temperatures occur above 10,000 feet. Weather permitting, Trail Ridge Road will remain open to Rainbow Curve on the east side of the park and to Milner Pass on the west side of the park. Eventually, those closures will move down in elevation for the winter season to Many Parks Curve on the east side and Colorado River Trailhead on the west side. Trail Ridge Road normally opens the last week in May, weather permitting. This year Trail Ridge Road opened on May 29. Old Fall River Road closed for the season to vehicles on October 4. Trail Ridge Road and Old Fall River Road will remain open to bicycles and leashed pets through November 30. Leashed pets and bicycles are only allowed on the road, not on side trails. On December 1, both of these roads will revert to "winter trail status" which means that bicycles and leashed pets are no longer permitted beyond the closed gates but pedestrians, snowshoers and skiers are.

Phantom Ranch Information

Changes to Phantom Ranch Operations, During 2022 The National Park Service (NPS) implemented modifications to operations at Phantom Ranch during 2021. These changes are in response to guidance from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. The Phantom Ranch Wastewater Treatment Plant (PRWWTP), located at the bottom of Grand Canyon, requires critical rehabilitation due to deferred maintenance and increased visitation levels. In order to reduce water and wastewater demands to the PRWWTP, the NPS has limited overnight use and existing visitor facilities at Phantom Ranch. This project is anticipated to last approximately 18-24 months. Modified operations will impact both NPS and Xanterra Phantom Ranch facilities. At Bright Angel Campground, site reservations have been decreased by 50% with a reduction in flush toilet restrooms for both day and overnight users. Phantom Ranch has closed all hiker dormitories and suspend all guest showers for the duration of the project. The hiker dormitories have been closed since March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 virus and will remain closed throughout the duration of this project. On Feb. 8, 2022, the first phase of short-term repairs and upgrades to the Phantom Ranch Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) started. Work is anticipated to be completed by December 2022 and includes two phases of hauling equipment via helicopters. The first phase is anticipated to go through March, and the second phase is expected to resume in September. Details >

Grand Canyon's Historic Village

On September 17, 1901, the First Steam-Powered Train, a spur line of the Santa Fe Railway, arrived to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. With the arrival of the train, the quiet area of the South Rim rapidly expanded into the bustling Grand Canyon Village. The first decade of the Santa Fe Railway’s arrival saw the construction of the luxurious, El Tovar, and shops, such as Hopi House and Verkamp’s Curios (today’s Verkamp’s Visitor Center). Over the next three decades, the Grand Canyon Village expanded to accommodate its growing visitation. Today visitors can take a step back in time and wander through this historically preserved village dating back to the early 1900s.
