DAISY CANYON BACKPACK HAS BEEN CHANGED
The Daisy Canyon traverse backpack scheduled for November 13,14 has been changed to be a Saturday 4,400 descent to Big Horn Spring in Hunter Canyon from Burgess Mine near New York Butte returning to Burgess Mine on Sunday. The main group will meet at 7:30 AM at Burgess mine on Saturday. Some people are going up Friday morning to do New York Butte from Burgess Mine (1 1/2 hours) and Pleasant from the road between Burgess mine and Cerro Gordo mine (1 hour). 4WD vehicles are necessary to get to Burgess mine and it takes about 2 hours to get there from the highway. Send a SASE to the co-leader, Ron Jones. -- John McCully
UPDATE *** ZION *** UPDATE
Last issue it was reported that the National Sierra Club has asked the DPS and all Sierra Club entities to not lead trips into Zion National Park until they have settled the "outfitter" issue with the Park.
DPSers might be interested in the following article that appeared in The Colorado Plateau Advocate (Spring/Summer Issue 1993), the publication of The Grand Canyon Trust:
"Not all visitors come (to Zion National Park) for the view or a hike. During the fall of 1992, a Utah neo-Nazi group, calling itself the 'Army of Israel', proclaimed that it would seize Zion and establish a whites-only homeland. The group announced plans for armed confrontation with NPS rangers, saying that 'officers who do not throw down their badges would be killed' and that the 'Virgin River will flow with blood'. Some contacts have already occurred and NPS expects more."
