    Join Sunset Crater Volcano, Walnut Canyon, and Wupatki National Monuments as we Celebrate Archaeology Month

    Flagstaff AZ (February 21, 2012) –  Throughout the month of March, the Flagstaff Area Monuments has planned several activities in honor of “Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month.”

    “Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month” was created by the State Historical Preservation Office and the Governor’s Ad Hoc Archaeology Advisory Group (now the Governor’s Archaeology Advisory Commission) to inform the public about archeology in the state of Arizona.

    In the Flagstaff Area Monuments alone, over 3000 archaeological sites have been recorded to date.  Some of the artifacts found in the monuments are over a thousand years old.  Through a combination of archaeological information and the oral traditions of present-day tribes, we are able to help visitors learn more about how the Ancestral Puebloan people lived and how their descendants continue many of the traditions and life-ways today.

    The following are activities planned for the month of March:

    • Walnut Canyon Discovery Hike – March 13, 10am.  Hike with a park archaeologist at Walnut Canyon National Monument.  Space is limited; reservations are required.  For more information and to sign up please call the Walnut Canyon Visitor Center at (928) 526-3367.  Regular entrance fees apply.
    • Wupatki Discovery Hike – March 14, 10am.  Hike with a park archaeologist at Wupatki National Monument.  Space is limited; reservations are required.  For more information and to sign up please call the Wupatki Visitor Center at (928) 679-2365.  Regular entrance fees apply.
    • Wupatki Archeology Day Camp – March 24, 10am and 1:30pm.  Spend time with archaeologists and learn about archeology through fun, hands-on activities designed for children ages 8-12.  Space is limited; reservations are required.  For more information and to sign up please call the Wupatki Visitor Center at (928) 679-2365.  Regular entrance fees apply.

    The staff at the Flagstaff Area National Monuments would like to encourage monument friends and neighbors to take advantage of the activities honoring Archaeology Month.

    Walnut Canyon National Monument is located 7.5 miles east of downtown Flagstaff via I-40 and can be reached at (928)526-3367 and on the web at www.nps.gov/waca.

    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.
