Nature
Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument is a vast, remote protected landscape on the Arizona Strip along the Grand Canyon’s northern edge in northwestern Arizona. Established on January 11, 2000, and jointly managed by the National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management, it preserves undeveloped canyon country, mountains, and desert with no paved access roads or visitor services. Covering 1,048,325 acres, it is larger than Rhode Island and rises from near Lake Mead to the summit of Mount Trumbull. Its wilderness areas, Paiute-derived name, remnants of Mormon settlement, and discoveries from cave exploration all reflect both deep human presence and how little known this country remains.
