On The Cover - June 2019

As much as we all enjoy the Southwest and much of the year in Arizona, we do have to endure the soaring temperatures of summer for a few months. There are out-of-state "escape routes" such as San Diego, of course, but some of us choose to cool off in Arizona's high country instead. Places such as Flagstaff, Payson, Show Low, and Prescott are four examples of cooler places to visit at this time of year. The ultimate outdoors woman, Margie Anderson, suggests two hikes that offer a respite from the Valley heat. And, since the official start of summer is this month, It might be an excellent idea for us to join her soon on these refreshing trails.

DOWNSTREAM - Cruise through some of the upcoming events in the Southwest.

BOATING - "Just wear it!"

TACKLE & TARGET - Steve Foutch is this month's featured pro.

LA ND CRUISING - "Only you can prevent wild fires!"

This Hike Is ... Picture Perfect!

Y'All Come - The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park is open.

Defend Yourself - Many situations can be handled with non-lethal weapons.

What's The Point? - Antelope Point Marina is the gateway to Lake Powell.
