What a spectacular place!

Several other views: https://www.americansouthwest.net/arizona/coal-mine-canyon/index.html

I just hope that we can keep such beauty and austerity intact. Not let the land/$$$ rapists get ahold of it.

LEAVE that natural beauty intact, and unspoiled. Trees, canyons, mountains, rivers, and rock formations! SAFE from fucking developers!

I am NOT drawn toward vistas of "scenic buildings"!

Permits are required to visit Coal Mine Canyon. Although it is close to a road, it is hard to find. The permits have to be picked up in Cameron, Arizona. A bit inconvenient, which is good!

I have been to Coal Mine Canyon several times, and I've never seen another soul there, except last time. A tribal land ranger pulled up and checked my permit. Then we talked for half an hour, with him giving me some good tips on how to maximize my short visit.

I understand that due to COVID-19, all tribal lands are closed to the public. That includes Coal Mine and the upper parts of Grand Canyon. No asshole state governor can order them to re-open. That's a good thing because they have been hit very, very hard by the pandemic.
