  3. #WhiteMesaUte want #EnergyFuels #UraniumMill out of their Community

    Two-hundred and Fifty #IndigenousPeople and Allies Join #WhiteMesa Ute Community #SpiritualWalk and #Protest against Energy Fuels uranium mill

    By Bradley Angel, #Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice, via #CensoredNews , October 19, 2026

    WHITE MESA UTE, Utah -- "In a powerful and inspiring day of solidarity and action on October 17th, White Mesa Ute Community members of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe were joined by Indigenous People and allies from across the southwest in the 10th Annual White Mesa Spiritual Walk and Protest against Energy Fuels and their uranium 'mill' and mines. About 250 people participated, including tribal members from the #UteMountainUte Tribe, #Havasupai, #Navajo Nation, #AcomaPueblo, #GilaRiver Indian Community, and #Quechan.

    "Located in southern #Utah, the White Mesa Ute Community is next to Energy Fuels’ uranium mill that has become an international #RadioactiveWaste disposal site. Amid the #Trump administration and State of Utah’s push to boost #uranium and #NuclearPower, more uranium is being trucked from the Energy Fuels’ La Sal Mines Complex about 60 miles to the mill, and at least 72 new mining claims have been staked on lands cut from Bears Ears National Monument. Uranium ore is also shipped from Energy Fuels’ #PinyonPlain mine near the #GrandCanyon, a mine opposed by the Havasupai Tribe and many other Indigenous and non-Native allies."

  4. Grand Canyon Bike Rides – South Kaibab Trailhead

    Connector to Greenway Trail in Mather Campground

    This is the third (and last) post in a short series about bike rides from Mather Campground in Grand Canyon National Park. The bike rides can also be done from Trailer Village (also in Grand Canyon National Park) and in the opposite direction from Grand Canyon Camper Village – located in Tusayan.

    To see the first post, Grand Canyon Bike Rides – Hermit’s Rest, click here. To see the second post, Grand Canyon Bike Rides – Tusayan, click here.

    This bike ride is about a nine mile round trip ride from the Mather Campground. The great thing about this trail ride is that it goes along gorgeous canyon views. To begin, ride down the Mather campground road. Right after the Juniper Loop and right before the Maple Loop is a connector trail to the Grand Canyon Greenway Trail. Bikes are allowed on the Greenway Trail, but not the Rim Trail. Head down that connecting trail.

    Take the connecting trail to the first interesection. Turn left to head to the Visitor Center. Ride past the connector to the Trailer Village campground. Make the next right turn, which heads to the canyon. You will have to cross Highway 64 which can be a busy road.

    The route from Mather Campground to the South Kaibab Trailhead is highlighted.
    The first canyon overlook is Pipe Creek Vista.
    The next overlook stop is the South Kaibab Trailhead.
    To reach the third overlook, Yaki Point, from the South Kaibab Trailhead ride on Yaki Point Road (the orange path).
    Once you’ve left the Trailhead, turn left at the intersection and follow the road to Yaki Point.

    When you arrive at the canyon, bikes must go to the right. They are not allowed on the trail to the left. The first overlook you come to along this route is the Pipe Creek Vista. This is approximately three miles from Mather Campground. You can ride past the Pipe Creek Vista Overlook and continue on the Greenway to the South Kaibab Trailhead.

    From the south Kaibab Trailhead you can continue to Yaki Point by riding on Yaki Point Road. Like Hermit’s Road, this part of the road is limited to shuttles and authorized vehicles. So, there is very little traffic. If a shuttle bus comes up behind you, you need to stop, dismount and move to the right before the shuttle will pass you.

    The Greenway trail along the rim on this route is open to people walking. Leashed dogs are also allowed. Depending on the amount of visitors, this can be a bit of a challenge because the path is not that wide. Some international visitors may not understand you when you say, “On your left”. It may be less crowded by riding later in the day.

    I would also mention that sometimes the trail gets close to the edge. I kept my eyes on the trail, and like always, I didn’t ride too fast.

    It is an amazing bike ride.

    For more info about bike riding in Grand Canyon National Park, see the official NPS website.

  5. Next stop: the Grand Canyon!

    Photos really don’t capture just how enormous this place is. Standing at the edge and seeing layer after layer of canyon stretching toward the horizon is absolutely insane.

  9. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌧️🏜️ Heavy #monsoon rainfall caused deadly flash flooding in the #GrandCanyon on August 29, 2026.

    #Drought and the 2025 Dragon Bravo #Fire had left parts of the #landscape more vulnerable to debris flows. #TropicalStorm #Karina supplied additional moisture, producing rapid water-level rises, damage to gauges, evacuations, fatalities, and extensive damage to the park’s #water pipeline.

  10. If you’re hiking in a canyon, a flash flood can hit even when it’s not raining where you are.

    Grand Canyon seen from the South Kaibab Trail, Grand Canyon, AZ, USA - April 2026

    A personal note - earlier this year I took the South Kaibab rim-to-river trail, including the Phantom Ranch. My heart is broken for the loss of life & damage that the recent flash flood in the Bright Angel Canyon caused. A reminder to treat nature with respect and awareness.
