Voter turnout has fluctuated in Indigenous precincts in San Juan County over the past decade. That's largely due to the county's switch to mail-in ballots in 2014. Navajo Nation residents aren't served by the USPS, the mail carrier that delivers ballots. This switch to mail-in voting prompted the Navajo Nation to sue shortly after for what it claimed was voter suppression among Indigenous voters. The settlement agreement from the lawsuit has resulted in more polling stations on the Navajo Nation, plus Dine language service for voters who don't speak English. Despite these efforts, voter turnout among Indigenous residents was down in San Juan County this election. We also hear about a state audit in the San Juan County Sheriff's Office for illegally operating a county bank account. Plus, a quick update on the Colorado couple who allegedly stole artifacts from Canyonlands National Park. We finish up with a story about the future of Colorado River negotiations as a new administration takes the White House. - Show Notes - • Election results in San Juan County https://electionresults.utah.gov/results/public/san-juan-county-ut/elections/general11052024 • Over 3,000 homes on the Navajo Nation receive official addresses https://soundcloud.com/user-452372146-352514478/over-3000-homes-on-the-navajo-nation-receive-official-addresses

Aron Ralston is an American mountaineer, engineer, and outdoors enthusiast known for his remarkable survival story. His most famous ordeal took place in 2003 when he became trapped in a remote Utah canyon and had to resort to extreme measures to save his own life.Here's a summary of Aron Ralston's survival story:Trapped in Blue John Canyon: In April 2003, Aron Ralston embarked on a solo hiking trip in Blue John Canyon, located in the remote Canyonlands National Park in Utah. While descending a narrow slot canyon, a boulder became dislodged and pinned his right arm against the canyon wall, trapping him in a life-threatening situation.Desperate Measures: Ralston spent several days trapped in the canyon, unable to free himself or attract help. He had limited supplies, including water and food, and his situation grew increasingly dire. With no hope of rescue in sight, he made the agonizing decision to amputate his own arm to escape certain death.Self-Amputation: Using a multi-tool and other improvised tools, Ralston painfully amputated his right arm just below the elbow. The act of self-amputation was a harrowing ordeal and a last resort to free himself from the boulder.Rescued: After amputating his arm, Ralston rappelled down a 65-foot cliff and hiked several miles until he encountered a family on a hiking trip. They provided him with the assistance he needed and alerted authorities, ultimately leading to his rescue.Inspirational Survival: Aron Ralston's remarkable survival story became widely known and was later adapted into a bestselling book titled "Between a Rock and a Hard Place." The story also inspired the 2010 film "127 Hours," directed by Danny Boyle and starring James Franco as Ralston.(commercial at 7:53)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
The fungus that causes a deadly bat disease called white-nose syndrome has made its way to Utah. Last week, Canyonlands National Park announced that the fungus was detected in an abandoned mine in the Needles District. White-nose syndrome has killed millions of bats in North America since it was discovered in 2007. Now, Utah has become the 44th state in the U.S. to test positive for the fungus. - Show Notes - • White-Nose Syndrome Response Team https://www.whitenosesyndrome.org/ • The economic impacts of ecosystem disruptions: Costs from substituting biological pest control https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg0344 • Canyonlands National Park Announcement https://www.nps.gov/cany/learn/news/news09182024.htm • Bat biologist Kimberly Hersey, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources kimberlyasmus@utah.gov • Photo: A fungal infection causes White-Nose Syndrome in bats across the U.S. Photo courtesy of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Heidi Redd is a renowned rancher, conservationist, author, and member of the National Cowgirl Museum's Hall of Fame. Sue Bellagamba serves as Canyonlands Regional Director at the Nature Conservancy, and for more than thirty years, she has worked to protect the lands and waters of southeastern Utah. Heidi and TNC have been partners since 1997 when Heidi sold her family's Utah ranch– The Dugout Ranch– to the Nature Conservancy in a historic conservation deal that protected the property from impending development. The Dugout Ranch is located at the gateway to Canyonlands National Park and sits within the boundaries of what is now Bears Ears National Monument– a fragile and arid landscape that has faced various development and environmental threats for many decades. Heidi and Sue have worked together in many capacities over the years, with one of their most notable achievements being the creation of The Canyonlands Research Center (“CRC”), which is headquartered at the Dugout Ranch. The CRC was founded in 2010, and its mission is to “promote a sustainable future on the Colorado Plateau for people and nature through research, inspiration, and demonstration of evidence-based solutions to solve some of our most pressing ecological, social, and economic issues.” Heidi is also the author of the excellent new book titled A Cowgirl's Conservation Journey: Stories from the Dugout Ranch. The book details her fascinating and adventurous life, with tales ranging from her youth (which included lots of rock climbing and skydiving), to her early years on the Dugout Ranch, all the way up to some recent behind-the-scenes stories from the designation of Bears Ears as a National Monument. If you're a fan of history, adventure, ranching, conservation, and purpose-driven people, I know you'll enjoy the book. We covered a lot in the episode, including Heidi's upbringing, her first visit to the Dugout Ranch, and when she knew that she would devote her life to stewarding the Dugout's spectacular landscapes. Sue provides some excellent context around conservation in the American Southwest, and why drylands are such a critical ecosystem and focus of TNC's efforts. We discuss how TNC initially built trust with Heidi back in the 1990s, the creation of The Canyonlands Research Center, new insights Heidi gleaned from writing her book, and much more. Be sure to visit the episode notes for links to everything we discuss, including Heidi's book. A huge thanks to Heidi and Sue for taking the time to chat with me and share their wisdom from so many decades of conversation work in such a special part of the country.

Josie Fouts is a congenital amputee, which means she was born without her left hand. In December 2018, Josie won two national championships and set a national record at her first par cycling competition. But has since switched her attention to mountain biking. Josie was recently featured in Tread Setters, a film about four para-cyclists and adaptive athletes who tackle a grueling 100-mile mountain bike trail through Canyonlands National Park in under 24 hours. So let's chat with her.
Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are located in Eastern Utah and are both famous on their own accord. Arches is home to the Delicate Arch, which has become a famous symbol of Utah (it is on their license plate) and is one of the most recognized natural formations in the United States. Canyonlands is a much larger park with many opportunities for outdoor adventure through four wheel driving, challenging backpacking, etc. Today's episode dives into the Lena Pace's (Arches & Canyonlands superintendent) perspective on the park as she ramps up to being superintendent (she has been superintendent since early April 2024). We are lucky to get unique and never before heard insight into her transition, into the partnerships she is maintaining and growing, the trails she is exploring and the Canyonlands districts she is learning about. We also hear about her experience growing up in rural Alaska and her 20+ years of experience as a Law Enforcement ranger. There is a lot of laughing in this episode, not one you want to miss. Correction Corner (a few mistakes we noticed and wanted to address): Lena misnamed one of her first hikes she did in the park -- she called it “Wall Street” but it is actually “Park Avenue” (in the case you want to do the hikes she mentioned)I, Maddie, accidentally said off-roading was allowed in the park, but it is not. What is allowed in Canyonlands is four-wheel driving (I didn't know, but learned, the difference between the two), which enables for a unique backcountry experience, enabling you to get farther out in the backcountry than you would get just hiking.Sponsors:Who Runs This Park is presented by ExpertVoice: Outdoor brands like Big Agnes, Mammut, La Sportiva, Chaco and more offer discounts on ExpertVoice of up to 60% off for industry experts like you.

I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com. Last July, I went to The Beach Boys' concert at Deer Valley in Park City, Utah. Near the end of the concert, they played Don't Worry Baby. I had heard the song before and always liked it, but I had never really listened to it. As I sat in the grass and Mike Love belted the song out, I heard it for the first time and it took on a whole new meaning. What seemed like silly lyrics that were there only because the amazing harmonies needed some lyrics became much deeper to me. I realized that in 2 minutes and 51 seconds, Brian Wilson conveyed a powerful story about vulnerability, love and safety. I left the next morning on a solo trip to Canyonlands National Park and ended up listening to Don't Worry Baby on repeat for 3 days. I still listen to it on repeat regularly. Neither the music or the meaning ever gets old. In this episode, I use this song to discuss my observations and experiences related to vulnerability, love and safety in relationships, all types of relationships, and how that the lack of those three things contribute to an unfulfilled life. My first book of poetry, My Mother Sleeps, is availabe for purchase at The King's English Bookshop (https://www.kingsenglish.com/search/author/%22Edgar%2C%20Scott%20R.%22) and Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Scott-R.-Edgar/e/B0B2ZR7W41%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share) Holding my book at The King's English Bookshop https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/b/b1c4f464-ff8b-4fd1-8632-8c458a232c1a/olfoSxre.jpeg

Farmers, landowners and local government agencies will come together on Wednesday in Towaoc for the latest listening session on a plan to protect and manage the Mancos River. The group behind the plan is made up of municipalities and organizations that lie along the river, like Mesa Verde National Park, the Mancos Conservation District and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, that have voluntarily joined together to coordinate on management. The listening session is intended for tribal members and ag producers who rely on the river to give feedback on a new watershed stream management plan. It'll serve as a guide for communities to better use and conserve water resources, and could include voluntary or compensated changes to irrigation rules during drier years. More outreach sessions will take place starting this spring and summer for feedback on the first draft. And the Bureau of Land Management says it plans to remove roughly 91 wild burros from rangelands near Canyonlands National Park.

Season 2 Ep 7 of the Travels With Randy Podcast is here! Viva Las Vegas With Special Guest Connor Harmon It's a non-travel week for the fellas on the podcast so they thought they'd take some time to interview Bubba's favorite up-and-coming travel fanatic, Connor Harmon - his oldest son. Connor, 22, has recently moved to Las Vegas and begun his career in the e-commerce world. He talks about his long driving trip out there in a car without air conditioning and some of the sites he visited on the way. His trip took him from Charlotte, NC over to Nashville, TN then up to St. Louis, MO then across to Kansas City, MO then all the way to Denver, CO and finally down to Las Vegas. He managed to hit several National Parks on the way: St Louis Arch National Park, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Zion National Park. Since living there he has also done some camping in Red Rock Canyon and Mt. Charleston. He's also made his father insanely jealous because he's been inside the Sphere in Vegas already to see the Darren Aronofsky film Postcard From Earth. The Sphere is as incredible as it looks! The trio then discuss how the different generations are handling the modern world - it's a Boomer vs. Gen Z debate! - and how optimistic the Gen Z'ers are in real life vs on social media. Bubba and Randy wrap up with a talk about being fathers and what that means and what they hope they've taught their children and what their children won't understand until they are much older. Come join the conversation on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/travelswithrandypodcast Have a great idea for the guys? Want to sponsor us? Want to be a guest?

Aron Ralston is an American mountaineer, engineer, and outdoors enthusiast known for his remarkable survival story. His most famous ordeal took place in 2003 when he became trapped in a remote Utah canyon and had to resort to extreme measures to save his own life.Here's a summary of Aron Ralston's survival story:Trapped in Blue John Canyon: In April 2003, Aron Ralston embarked on a solo hiking trip in Blue John Canyon, located in the remote Canyonlands National Park in Utah. While descending a narrow slot canyon, a boulder became dislodged and pinned his right arm against the canyon wall, trapping him in a life-threatening situation.Desperate Measures: Ralston spent several days trapped in the canyon, unable to free himself or attract help. He had limited supplies, including water and food, and his situation grew increasingly dire. With no hope of rescue in sight, he made the agonizing decision to amputate his own arm to escape certain death.Self-Amputation: Using a multi-tool and other improvised tools, Ralston painfully amputated his right arm just below the elbow. The act of self-amputation was a harrowing ordeal and a last resort to free himself from the boulder.Rescued: After amputating his arm, Ralston rappelled down a 65-foot cliff and hiked several miles until he encountered a family on a hiking trip. They provided him with the assistance he needed and alerted authorities, ultimately leading to his rescue.Inspirational Survival: Aron Ralston's remarkable survival story became widely known and was later adapted into a bestselling book titled "Between a Rock and a Hard Place." The story also inspired the 2010 film "127 Hours," directed by Danny Boyle and starring James Franco as Ralston.(commercial at 7:53)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5080327/advertisement

Lithium, considered critical for a greener economy, is used in products like rechargeable batteries, computers and electronic vehicles. Companies around the world are staking claims in potentially lithium-rich areas, including lands near Canyonlands National Park. After additional environmental analysis, the BLM has reopened such a proposal for public comment. Plus, to test their designs, competitive robotics students recently traveled to a ‘Mars analogue' – also known as southern Utah. And later, the Colorado Pika Project is studying how climate change impacts these small, hamster-like animals. // Show Notes: // Photo: A view from a potential lithium mining site near Canyonlands National Park.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12 https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Aron Ralston is a mountaineer, mechanical engineer, and best-selling author known for surviving a canyoneering accident by cutting off part of his own right arm. On April 26, 2003, during a solo descent of Bluejohn Canyon in southeastern Utah, he dislodged a boulder, pinning his right wrist to the side of the canyon wall. After five days, he had to break his forearm, amputate it with a dull pocket knife to break free, make his way through the rest of the canyon, rappel down a 65-foot drop, and hike 7 miles to safety. The incident is documented in Aron's autobiography Between a Rock and a Hard Place and is the subject of the 2010 film 127 Hours in which he is portrayed by James Franco. After the accident, Aron continued mountaineering and became the first person to ascend all of Colorado's fourteeners solo in winter. "Turn boulders into blessings." During this conversation, Aron takes us through the 127 hours from when his right arm was pinned under a boulder until he was resting safely in a hospital bed. Along the way, he shares key learnings that all of us can take from his experience. In April 2003, Aron was canyoneering alone through Bluejohn Canyon, in Utah, just south of the Horseshoe Canyon unit of Canyonlands National Park. While he was descending the lower stretches of the slot canyon, a suspended boulder dislodged while he was climbing down from it. The boulder first smashed his left hand and then crushed his right hand against the canyon wall. Aron had not informed anyone of his hiking plans, nor did he have any way to call for help. Assuming that he would die without intervention, he spent five days slowly sipping his small amount of remaining water, approximately 350 ml (12 imp fl oz), and slowly eating his small amount of food, two burritos, while repeatedly trying to extricate his arm. His efforts were futile as he was unable to free his arm from the 800 lb (360 kg) chockstone. After three days of trying to lift and break the boulder, the dehydrated and delirious Ralston prepared to amputate his trapped arm at a point on the mid-forearm in order to escape. After having experimented with tourniquets and having made exploratory superficial cuts to his forearm, he realized, on the fourth day, that in order to free his arm he would have to cut through the bones in it, but the tools available were insufficient to do so. After running out of food and water on the fifth day, Aron decided to drink his own urine. He carved his name, date of birth, and presumed date of death into the sandstone canyon wall, and videotaped his last goodbyes to his family. He did not expect to survive the night, but as he attempted to stay warm he began hallucinating and had a vision of himself playing with a future child while missing part of his right arm. Aron credited this as giving him the belief that he would live. After waking at dawn the following day he discovered that his arm had begun to decompose due to the lack of circulation, and became desperate to tear it off. Aron then had an epiphany that he could break his radius and ulna bones using torque against his trapped arm. He did so, then amputated his forearm with his multi-tool, using the dull 2-inch knife and pliers for the tougher tendons. The painful process took an hour, during which time he used tubing from a CamelBak as a tourniquet, taking care to leave major arteries until last. The manufacturer of the multi-tool was never named, but Aron said "It was not a Leatherman but what you'd get if you bought a $15 flashlight and got a free multi-use tool." After freeing himself, Ralston climbed out of the slot canyon in which he had been trapped, rappelled down a 65-foot sheer wall, then hiked out of the canyon. He was 8 miles from his car and had no phone. However, after 6 miles of hiking, he encountered a family on vacation from the Netherlands; Eric and Monique Meijer and their son Andy, who gave him food and water and hurried to alert the authorities. Aron had feared he would bleed to death; he had lost 40 pounds, including 25% of his blood volume. Rescuers searching for Ralston, alerted by his family that he was missing, had narrowed the search down to Canyonlands and he was picked up by a helicopter in a wide area of the canyon. He was rescued approximately four hours after amputating his arm. The STOP acronym: Stop (pause), Think (brainstorm), Observation, Plan Stop Think Observe Plan "Commitment is the first step." At one point when Aron's arm was stuck under the giant rock, he filmed his "goodbyes" to each family member. "Who would you say your goodbyes to and what would you say?" Aron realized that life is all about loving relationships. "You can't hold despair and gratitude at the same time." 127 Hours - There is no force so powerful as the will to live. Aron's version: "There's no force so powerful as the will to love." "Welcome adversity. It helps you grow." "Find gratitude for the worst thing that's ever happened to you." “Passion. That which I suffer, allow, endure, is done to me.”

Our guest on Episode 46 of the Rider Magazine Insider Podcast is Dave Scott, an old friend of host Greg Drevenstedt. This episode was recorded while Rider's editorial team was in the final week of production for the November 2022 issue – our first-ever adventure-themed issue. Scott was the inspiration for the issue. In the summer of 2020, during a record-breaking hurricane season that drenched the Southeast in rain and when we were still in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, Scott took a solo journey on the TransAmerica Trail, a mostly off-road route that extends from coast to coast. He wrote a story about his adventure, and it goes well with other features in the November issue about the Trans Canada Adventure Trail, the Trans Euro Trail, and the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park. Scott has a way with words, which is why we wanted to interview him on the podcast as a companion to his story. We had a freewheeling conversation for nearly an hour, but we only made it as far as the Mississippi River on Scott's east-to-west journey. Enjoy this episode, and stay tuned for a follow-up episode where we'll hear more about riding across America on a dirtbike. LINKS: TransAmTrail.com

The Interior Department has approved a list of replacement names for nearly 650 geographic sites – including 50 in Utah – that included a racist and sexist slur. In her comments on the name changes, Secretary Deb Haaland said she felt obligated to use her platform to ensure public lands are ‘accessible and welcoming.' The Moab area has new geographic names in the Manti La Sal National Forest, Canyonlands National Park and near the confluence of the Dolores and Colorado Rivers. Plus, players willing to predict monsoon precipitation levels in five major cities will soon find out who won the Southwest Monsoon Fantasy Forecasts game. And later, as climate change brings longer and more severe drought to the American Southwest, a community-led coalition is celebrating new protections streams in Colorado. // Show Notes: // Photo: Tukuhnikivatz Spring in the La Sal Mountains replaces a trail name that once included a racist slur.

The Canyonlands Research Center offers a paid summer internship to Native American students interested in conservation. Today on the news, we visit students as they tour Dugout Ranch on the border of Canyonlands National Park. Used by the Ute and Navajo tribes and later by white ranchers, the land now helps educate and train the next generation of conservationists. Plus, a county in Southwest Colorado is working with an unusual partner to tackle the area's noxious weeds – goats. And later, a group of tribes in the Colorado River basin is asking for more of a voice in negotiations about conserving the river's water amid historic drought. // Show Notes: // Photo: Students from Canyonlands Research Center's NATURE (Native American Tribes Upholding Restoration and Education) program at Dugout Ranch near Moab.

In this episode, I was joined by Marianna Cevallos. Marianna, who is originally from Peru moved to Colorado in 2015 for college and fell in love with the outdoors. She lived in Avon and her friends would participate in a lot of outdoor activities, including floating in the river. Unlike most of her friends, Marianna didn't have a car or enough space to have kayaks or paddleboards and when she came across Pack rafting, she loved the idea of being able to pack the raft in her backpack and take a bus to go join her friends on the adventures. She wanted to solve this pain point for everyone that doesn't have storage or transportation and make the sport more accessible for all so she started her own Packrafting company with her partner Mike, Alluviarafts.com How did packrafting start? Initially, Packrafting started with the need to access remote areas in the backcountry and want to do intense multi-day, multi-adventure trips. Although it initially started with the need to access the backcountry, there are a lot of people in cities or in the front country that really benefits from having a Packraft. How to get started with Packrafting? Packrafting is just as easy to learn as kayaking, canoeing, or any other water sport. If it is possible, take lessons for kayaking or other water sports so that you know how to paddle. Even though the paddling sports may be different, understanding the concepts of water bodies (rivers vs. lakes), weather, and safety preparation is the most important thing to learn. To dig further into packrafting, The Packraft Handbook is a great resource for everyone, from beginners to advanced paddlers. Tip: go through scenarios of getting in and out of your boat in water, and know how to get back in, in case you flip over. How long does it take to inflate a Packraft? Using the inflation sack, it only takes about 3 minutes to get the Packraft to about 90% inflation and then using your mouth, inflate to 100% with about 30 seconds of blowing. What are your favorite places to go Packrafting? Canyonlands National Park is a great place that we love to go to because it is mostly flat water with only a little bit of white water. We love paddling the Colorado River in Grand Junction as the river runs right through town. In Austin, TX we love going to Ladybird Lake One of the coolest places we have ever gone to is Alaska, there are so many different places that you can go there but it is a bit more intense and backcountry focused. Packrafting is also very popular in Europe and New Zealand as there are many places that you can't access any other way. Leave No Trace tips while Packrafting: Plan ahead and prepare: Pack out your poop! Wag bags are a great idea Fire preparation: Skip making a fire in remote places if you can to minimize campfire impacts.
