Paws up if you think your furry friend would make a great painting!

Painting pets and plein air both require you to think differently with time and composition. While we can't encourage you to bring a pet to this year's Art in the Park program, you should still sign up for our workshops and plein air excursion.

🎉 Happy Birthday, National Park Service! 🎉

On August 25, 1916, the National Park Service was established with a mission to protect America’s natural, cultural, and historic treasures for generations to come.

Here in Glen Canyon, we’re especially grateful for our NPS partners and their dedication to protecting these incredible landscapes, preserving the stories of this place, and helping visitors connect with the wonders of our public lands.

From all of us at Glen Canyon Conservancy, happy birthday, NPS! Here’s to many more years of protecting the places we love. ❤️

Craving a cool hideaway on a hot day? Take a stroll through the orchards at historic Lonely Dell Ranch!

Tucked into the southern end of Glen Canyon, this hidden oasis offers a refreshing escape filled with rich history, beautiful views, and—if you visit at the right time of year—delicious fresh fruit. 🍑🍎

The original orchards associated with the pioneer homestead were once located farther upstream. In the 1960s, private owners revived the orchards closer to the ranch home, and the National Park Service has cared for them ever since. Today, visitors can enjoy a little taste of Glen Canyon history while savoring some of the fruits grown in this special place.

Stop by the Navajo Bridge Interpretive Center before or after your trip to learn more about the area, pick up helpful information, and browse souvenirs that can help enrich your Glen Canyon adventure.

You're invited: the 2026 California Condor Release

On Saturday, September 26, we'll release four California Condors into the wild at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, and you can be there to witness it! Held each year on National Public Lands Day alongside our partners at the Bureau of Land Management, it's a rare chance to watch a condor spread its wings and take its first flight over the red rock.

Planning to join us in person? Here's what to know:
📅 When: Saturday, September 26. Activities begin around 10 a.m., and the release pen opens at 11 a.m. MST (northern Arizona "condor time").
📍Where: Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona.
🚗 Getting there: Parking is limited, so arrive early and be ready to walk up to a mile to the viewing area. The earlier you come, the shorter the walk.
💵 Bring cash: Our wing-tag raffle and silent auction help fund the condor field program, and internet is limited on-site.
🧢 Pack for the day: binoculars or a spotting scope, plenty of water, sunscreen, a hat, and a chair. The nearest supplies are about 40 minutes away.

Can't make it to Arizona? We'll livestream the release on our YouTube channel so you can celebrate from anywhere.
