Grand Canyon Ranger Programs Go Digital

Park rangers tasked with education and interpretation at Grand Canyon have embraced new technology to help in their efforts to share the wonders of the fabled chasm. A series of podcasts on a wide variety of interesting topics are now available on the official Grand Canyon National Park.

From mountain lions to microclimates, these short videos are geared towards kids, but the information is appropriate (and entertaining) for Grand Canyon enthusiasts of all ages.

More installments will be added to this series in the near future. So whether you’re gathering information for a forthcoming visit, or just enjoying the Grand Canyon from afar, be sure to visit the website often and see what the ranger’s have to say about one of the world’s most beloved destinations.
