It's too early for ideal running conditions - I want to suffer in the heat until about a week before Chicago for optimal training stimuli!
Yep, 50 years today. I believe the story went something like this: Secretary of the Interior was flying over the area in 1961 with a group that was proposing the dam the river in the Cataract Canyon area. He said - "if that isn't a national park, then I don't know what a national park is"... they had to fight hard and quick, and 3 years later President Johnson officially made Canyonlands National Park.
