The Arizona Strip covers nearly 2 million acres in northwestern Arizona, which includes the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. The field office oversees five wilderness areas, including the internationally known Paria Canyon/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area, the Old Spanish National Historic Trail, nine Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, and two river segments suitable for Wild & Scenic River designation. The Grand Canyon isolates the Arizona Strip from the rest of Arizona, making it among the most remote and rugged public land in the lower 48 states. There are approximately 4,000 miles of unpaved roads leading to spectacular scenic vistas, remoteness and solitude among rough scenic canyons and ponderosa pine forests. This distinctive part of Arizona has a special appeal to many people.
A variety of resource management topics are offered on Friday afternoons during the months of October through April. Presentations begin at noon and last approximately one hour. Programs are held at the
Interagency Information Center, located at 345 E. Riverside Drive in St. George, UT.
