As of Monday, Indian Garden at is now Havasupai Gardens!

“Superintendent Ed Keable called the renaming ‘long overdue’ given Havasupai Tribe’s history in the area before Park officials forcibly removed them nearly a century ago.” The U.S. Board of Geographic Names voted unanimously for the name change earlier this month. The National Park Service requested the name change on behalf of the Havasupai Tribe.

There is an amazing book about the Havasupai people titled “I Am the Grand Canyon: The Story of the Havasupai People” by Stephen Hirst. Anyone that spends anytime at Grand Canyon should know about those that lived there (and still do in the Village of Supai). The book is available at our store or be sure to check it out at a local bookstore.

Please join us for a talk and book signing ON TUESDAY, NOV 1 @ 6PM with Sebastian Copeland and his newest book, POLAR EXPLORATIONS, documenting his forty-three days crossing the Greenland ice sheet without outside support. In the process, he set a new world record for the longest distance traveled on kites and skis, covering 370 miles over one twenty-four-hour period. Copeland also led the first east-to-west transcontinental crossing of Antarctica by skis and kites via two of its poles, setting three world records over the 2,500-mile, eighty-four-day expedition. Named one of the world’s 25 top adventurers of the last 25 years by Men’s Journal, he is a climate analyst, award-winning photographer and aspirational athlete and combines these tools to powerfully communicate the urgency of action on climate change and sustainable growth.

An international speaker on climate crisis, Copeland has been featured on television and radio (Larry King Live, CBS, NPR, Air America) and has addressed audiences at the United Nations, at the COP21 in Paris, the World Affairs Council, the General Assembly on Climate in New Orleans and the George Eastman House. He has spoken for Hewlett Packard, VF Corp, Canon, BMW, BNP Paribas, Google’s headquarters and to Apple’s Senior Design Team amongst many others. His 2021 TEDx talk offers a new provocative approach to bridge the gap between humans and Nature. Sebastian is also the Founder and Chairman of The Sedna Foundation – a non-profit organization dedicated to raising support and awareness of environmental issues in the front lines of climate change.

This event will be held at our Scottsdale store. Details in bio.

October hiking tip: Watch out for eye-level sticks. So when you’re hiking, keep your eyes open, but be prepared to shut them quickly.

Hiking with your dog? Make sure you are aware that most dogs cannot handle temperatures over 90 F. Add lack of shade (temps in the sun are about 20 F hotter than shade temps), lack of water and strenuous activity, and your best bud is not going to fair well. Why am I telling you this? Because on Wednesday, Diego the 125 lb German Shepard had to be rescued from Tom’s Thumb due to heat exhaustion. He is fine but drank five bottles of water provided by rescuers and carried down the mountain. And while the high temps were 86 F, it was extremely humid AND all dogs handle the heat differently.

Tips to avoid heat exhaustion on the trail for you and your best bud…
1. Hike early, late or not at all with your dog until temps are consistently 85 F or less and have a dew point of less than 50. Humidity and heat increases the relative temperature.
2. Take a lot of water. Many dog gear brands have collapsible water bowls that are very easy to carry. A small pack for your dog to carry the extra weight of the water helps ensure you have plenty for everyone!
3. Cooling vests are amazing and keep your pooch cool via evaporative cooling. We have them at the store if you want to check them out.
4. Hiking boots for your dog like the Grip Trex from will protect your dog’s paws from the hot trails (not to mention thorns, sharp rocks and cactus needles that can also hinder your hike).
5. If your dog is showing any signs of overheating like heavy panting, extreme thirst, bright red tongue and gums and lethargy, abort your hike. There is no “prize” for finishing.
6. As with people, the fitness level, acclimation and age of your dog will have much to do with how she handles whatever hike you take her on.

If you are in the market for some gear to ensure you and your pooch are ready for a desert hike, bring your pup in to the store and we can help make sure your dog has what she needs to hike safely. Or visit any of you locally owned pet stores.

If you are hiking Grand Canyon any time soon, water is off at 3 and 1.5 mile rest houses along the Bright Angel Trail and Cottonwood use area and Manazanita rest area along the North Kaibab Trail due to a trans canyon pipeline break. This means you need to ensure you have plenty of water when hiking Bright Angel Trail between the South Rim and Indian Garden and on the North Kaibab Trail between Supai Tunnel and Phantom Ranch (a long, hot 12 mile stretch).

AND it is going to be 112 to 116 F over the next few days.

If you are hiking Grand Canyon…water is still off at 3 and 1.5 mile rest houses due to a trans canyon pipeline break. While it has been repaired, tanks need time to refill to an adequate level. This means you need to ensure you have plenty of water when hiking Bright Angel Trail between the South Rim and Indian Garden.

Something I learned today…Late May of this year, Asteroid 7335 made a close trip past the Earth. It was 4x larger than the Empire State Building according to AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Lada. Also according to Lada, if measured in the well-known giraffe metric, it was 350 giraffes tall.

Grand Canyon from the South Rim via South Kaibab Trail is also 4x the Empire State Building, and therefore is 350 giraffes deep. Amazing!!🧐

Stage 2 fire restrictions begin TODAY for all National Forests and most public lands in Arizona.

During Stage 2 fire restrictions, the following is prohibited…

- Igniting, building, maintaining or using a fire, including charcoal and briquettes. This includes any fires within developed recreation sites. Also includes smudge pots and wood stoves.
- smoking outside (and use your ashtrays, or whatever, in your vehicles people! The world is not your ash tray!)
- other stuff liking operating torches with open flames or anything with combustible engines.

Violators are subject to a fine of up to $5000, jail time of up to 6 months or both.

Also, refrain for shooting off fire works (which is always illegal in National forests), using fi****ms and driving/parking your vehicle over dry vegetation. All these things can start a fire.

Use of stoves or grills files by pressurized liquid petroleum or pressurized liquid petroleum gas is allowed. This means you have to be able to put out you flame with a turn of a k**b, flick of a switch.
