At a Glance
Enchantment continues renovations with $10 million facelift of
Clubhouse and pool. This project, part of a $25 property-wide
improvement plan, will renovate the Clubhouse lobby area,
restaurants, retail areas, and main pool. The pool doubles in size and is
raised some 10 feet to provide 360 degree views of the red rock
wilderness surrounding the hotel. The project is expected to be
completed this spring.
Bike rentals and water stations at Grand Canyon highlight some of the recent developments at this Natural Wonder of the World. The bike rental operation is based near Canyon View Information Plaza at Mather Point. The park has improved a number of multi-use trails in recent years in an effort to get more cars off park roads, including a new 7 mile trail to Tusayan, outside the park boundary. Water refilling stations at trailheads, 6 on the South Rim and 3 more on the North Rim, are intended to cut down on solid waste by providing hikers with free refills for canteens and reusable water bottles.
New Flagstaff ropes course opens. Located in the cool high country of Flagstaff, this is a great team building venue. The course includes such high elements as zip lines suspended between tall pines, bridges, cargo nets, monkey bars, suspended moving logs and many other features. Contact us for full details to create a custom event for your group.
Grand Canyon major economic generator, according to new study by Michigan State University. In 2010, over 4 million visitors spent more than $415 million in and around the region, producing some 6,167 jobs. According to the analysis, the 22 national park units in Arizona attracted more than 10.5 million visitors who spent $671 million and supported 9,661 jobs. Overall, visitation to National Parks comprise just one component of the $17.7 billion travel industry in the Grand Canyon State.
Another jaguar spotted in Southern Arizona, and no we don't mean the car. The magnificent spotted cats used to roam far into Arizona, and were recently considered to be extinct in the United States. However, this is now the third confirmed spotting of a jaguar, and all have been in far southern Arizona.
Northern Arizona's only native turtles protected at Montezuma Well, in new project by USGS and NPS. The National Monument, a result of a collapsed sinkhole, has the very unusual appearance of a circular lake in a pit. Residing in it are a population of about 100 endemic Sonoran mud turtles, which are now being studied and protected against habitat encroachment by nonnative mud turtles, sometimes called dime-store turtles, which were former pets and discarded at the Well over the years. Arizona also has endangered desert tortoises in the Sonoran and Mojave desert sections of the state. For more on Montezuma Well, consider one of our outstanding customized tours led by our personable experts.
