Repair work on the Pic-Win Cabin at Lonely Dell - Joanna Joseph


Lees Ferry and the charming, tree-shaded oasis of Lonely Dell Ranch have long captivated the imaginations of visitors. Join National Park Service Ranger Alan Malmquist to help stabilize and preserve these important sites of pioneer and American West history. As head of the preservation and rehabilitation project, Ranger Malmquist shares his in-depth knowledge of the site and allows exclusive access to buildings closed to the general public. As you work on the historic root cellar and bunkhouse, study the natural and human history of this historic crossing of the Colorado River established by Mormon pioneers in 1871. On a field trip to a California condor release site on the Vermilion Cliffs, learn more about North America’s largest bird.
