    logo_nationalparkserviceFlagstaff AZ (April 18, 2013) – From Saturday, April 20 through Sunday, April 28, Flagstaff Area National Monuments invites you to celebrate National Parks Week with a variety of family friendly activities. Whether you are just passing through or you’ve lived in Northern Arizona your whole life, there is something new for everyone to experience in the Flagstaff Area National Monuments.

    Visit for free! From Monday, April 22 – Friday, April 26, the National Parks waive all entrance fees. Now is a great time to visit with the whole family. In addition, Western National Parks Association bookstores will be offering 15% discounts on all merchandise in the visitor centers during the fee-free week.

    20130418_wupatkiTake in a Ranger Program! Daily interpretive programs will be offered throughout National Park Week. Walk back in time on the Walnut Canyon Island Trail, experience the extreme ecosystem of the Sunset Crater lava flow, or explore the unique beauty and complex history of the Wupatki Pueblo.

    Become a Jr. Ranger! On Saturday, April 20, celebrate Junior Ranger Day and Earth Day. This year all three national monuments will be offering a Climate Friendly Family Challenge and Junior Ranger Activities, which will also be available at the Flagstaff Area National Monuments booth at the City of Flagstaff Community Earth Day Celebration.

    Get Involved! Last year, more than 257,000 people volunteered in a National Park. April 27 is Volunteer Day. Visit http://www.nps.gov/getinvolved/volunteer.htm to learn how you can get involved in a National Park or Monument near you. Volunteers for the Flagstaff Area National Monuments help with everything from providing information in the visitor centers to clearing invasive species from critical habitats.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
