    logo_nationalparkserviceFlagstaff AZ (April 29, 2013) – From Memorial Day through Labor Day, Walnut Canyon National Monument will be offering guided hikes that allow you to discover the behind-the-scenes life of Walnut Canyon. From the work of the early Park Rangers and the historic Ranger Cabin, to the unique experience of living life on the canyon ledge, there is something new for everyone to discover.

    20130429_wacaThe Ranger Cabin Hike is easy, lasts two hours, and will take place each Sunday. This visit to some of Walnut Canyon’s backcountry will provide a glimpse into the early history of the area.

    The Ledge Hike includes a strenuous portion, lasts three hours, and will take place on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. This is your chance to visit cliff dwellings not otherwise accessible to the public.

    Reservations are required as space on these unique hikes is very limited. We will begin accepting reservations on May 1. Please call (928) 526-3367 for information and to reserve a space.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
