Coyote Tails 5: "Rumble on The Mountain"
Despite the adamant opposition (and lawsuits) of 13 affiliated tribes with the San Francisco Peaks, in 2012, the Arizona Snowbowl became the first ski resort in the world to use 100% reclaimed sewer water to make artificial snow. On Sunday, November 30th, 2014, when the Snowbowl opened its season with artificial snow, a 4.7 earthquake shook the city of Flagstaff and the surrounding area. Many people of the region considered the tremor to be the mountain's reaction to its desecration. With the Leading of Jah, and the help of Grand Canyon Trust, The Sierra Club - Grand Canyon (Arizona) Chapter, The Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, The Noise, KUYI Hopi Public Radio, Radio Free Flagstaff, and a wild pack of Irie Howlerz, Tha 'Yoties and the Rumble Team planned for the first annual Rumble on The Mountain (named for the earthquake) to be held at the The Orpheum Theater on January 24, 2015. The show would be eight hours of magic featuring music, prayers, and education in celebration of the sacred gift of water with Pato Banton as the featured performer/prayer warrior. Viktor Frankl said, "You don't invent your mission (in life), you detect it." Through Rumble on The Mountain, Tha 'Yoties came face to face with their mission of "Howling for the people and lands of the Colorado Plateau". \m/

Our Story
We are thrilled to announce that Wild Arizona* is the new home of Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, through a successful merger to Arizona Wilderness Coalition in May 2019. This merger blends our two long-standing conservation organizations with strong roots in Arizona’s conservation history and community, in Wilderness and the Colorado River, in outdoor adventure, applied field-based conservation science, hands-on habitat restoration, and working for and with tribal partners. Additionally, our collective work now reaches across Arizona and its state lines into the ecologically connected parts of the neighboring Four Corners States and the Borderlands, while Grand Canyon Wildlands Council continues to focus on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon.
Grand Canyon Wildlands Council welcomes you to join in and help us:
☛ Steward and enhance the Colorado River Ecosystem in Grand Canyon.
☛ Restore riparian habitats along the Colorado River.
☛ Produce and update the beloved Stevens Guide to running the Colorado River in Grand Canyon.
*Wild Arizona aspires to protect, link together, and restore wild lands and waters across Arizona and beyond | for the enrichment and health of all generations | and to ensure Arizona's native plants and animals a lasting home in wild nature. #fortheloveofwildness
