    logo_USFS_USDASedona AZ (January 26, 2016) – The Red Rock District of the Coconino National Forest is seeking public comments on the proposal to add non-motorized trails to the official trail system in the area of Rimrock, Cottonwood and Sedona.

    The proposal includes a trail to link the existing Cliffrose Trailhead to the Lime Kiln Trail on the outskirts of Cottonwood near Mingus Avenue; a trail to cross Wet Beaver Creek near Montezuma Well National Monument, and several trails at the west end of the City of Sedona that would connect with the current Girdner Trailhead near the Red Rock High School. To view the full proposal and maps, please visit the Red Rock Ranger District Trails Planning (2013-Present) section of the following web page: http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/coconino/landmanagement/planning

    The public can submit their comments via email to fcadrian@fs.fed.us. Those without email can submit written comments to Red Rock Ranger District, Attn: Francisca Adrian, P.O. Box 20429, Sedona, Ariz., 86341-0429.  The deadline for submitting comments is Feb. 29.

    Over the past three years the Forest Service has been discussing the future of the non-motorized trail system with the public, Yavapai and Coconino Counties, cities of Sedona, Camp Verde, and Cottonwood and trail user groups to prioritize responsible trail projects.

    It is the mission of the Forest Service to provide for appropriate levels of trail-related recreation and forest access. Issues such as who pays for the development and maintenance of trails and trailheads, as well as determining the appropriate level of trail development continue to be at the heart of discussions about National Forest trails in the Verde Valley. The public provides important input and feedback by submitting their comments during this process.

      Regarding connecting trails to the Girdner Trail: Tell me, Is this for the benefit of the new Marriot going in across the street from the High School? I’m all for getting people out onto the trails, but will the Marriot take over one of my favorite trails the way the Enchantment takes over Boynton Canyon? I don’t think any trail should be made at the request of a hotel.


    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
