The battle to protect Arizonaâs remaining old growth ponderosa pines has flared again with a dispute about a timber sale on the Kaibab National Forest â with implications for forest restoration efforts statewide.

A forest supervisorâs suggestion that the removal of the old-growth trees reduced fire damage in a recent wildfire provoked a furious response from environmentalists.
The dispute threatens to unravel an agreement to focus on removing the smaller trees that now choke the forest, after a century of logging, cattle grazing and fire suppression.

The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park opens for the 2021 season on Saturday, May 15. Many facilities, services and activities were closed or curtailed last year due to COVID-19 and wildfires, but things will be a little closer to normal this year.
The North Rim is remote and the drive time from Phoenix is a commitment, but don t let that put you off. It gets far fewer visitors than the South Rim about a 10th as many and you re much more likely to have a little breathing room on the trails and at the overlooks.
Visitors have two lodging options inside the park: tent or RV camping at the North Rim Campground or booking a cabin at the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. Outside the park, travelers can stay at Jacob Lake Inn or Kaibab Lodge. Campers can choose from two campgrounds or opt for free dispersed camping along the many Forest Service roads.
