Most Visitors Stop At The Visitor Center, But This Arizona Cliff Dwelling Lets You Step Inside Its Rooms

Plenty of Arizona road trips end at a gift shop and a parking lot. This one keeps going, straight up a steep paved trail to a home built into a cliff more than 700 years ago. At the top, you get to walk through the rooms, not just stare at them from behind a rope far below.

Arizona’s Fight Against New World Screwworm and Why It Matters to Oregon and Other States

As someone with experience in veterinary medicine, infectious disease, livestock care, and parasite management, I have been following Arizona’s response to the recent New World screwworm detections with great interest. Many people have heard the name “screwworm,” but few understand how devastating this parasite can be. Unlike maggots that feed on dead tissue, New World screwworm larvae feed on living tissue, making them particularly destructive parasites affecting livestock, wildlife, pets, and other warm-blooded animals. What many people do not realize is that New World screwworms can also infest humans. According to the CDC, New World screwworm causes infestations in the living tissue of both animals and humans. The flies are attracted to open wounds and body openings, where they lay eggs that hatch into larvae that burrow into healthy tissue. Even small wounds, scratches, insect bites, or surgical sites can become targets. This ability to infest both animals and people is one of the reasons health officials are taking the current situation so seriously.

Want an Arizona Christmas tree? Here’s how to cut your own

Ready to swap your artificial tree for a fresh-cut Arizona Christmas tree? The U.S. Forest Service is selling one-tree permits online through Recreation.gov. Fourth graders with an Every Kid Outdoors pass can get a free permit, though a $2.50 reservation fee still applies. Trees can be no taller than 10 feet, and cutting is allowed only in designated areas of Tonto National Forest. Forest officials say removing smaller trees can help thin dense stands and make room for other trees and wildlife.

Historic Southwest Flooding Doesn’t Fix the Colorado River’s Problems

In recent weeks, powerful storms battered the Four Corners region. The San Juan River reached some of its highest flows on record, and the Animas and Dolores rivers each logged their fifth-highest levels. Families in Pagosa Springs, Colo., in Bluff, Utah, and Navajo Nation communities now face months of recovery. Though for some observers, there was at least some hope: after years of drought, perhaps all that water would provide a meaningful boost to replenish Colorado River reservoirs, recharge aquifers, and benefit some wildlife habitat.
