Outdoor enthusiasts and especially those with an interest in birds may want to set aside Sept. 30 for a trip to northern Arizona.
That’s when the public is invited to watch California condors — so spectacular to see in flight — released to the wild at Vermillion Cliffs National Monument at 11 a.m. The event is part of National Public Lands Day, the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance America’s public lands.
To reach the site from Utah, take Highway 89A from Kanab to BLM Road 1085. Drive north 3 miles to the release site.
