Outdoor leaders to meet at Grand Canyon

(Sept. 6, 2012) -- Grand Thoughts is a continuation of "big picture" thinking about America's national parks and the American park idea which commenced in January 2012 at the first America's Summit on National Parks. Both efforts focus on 2016 -- the 100th anniversary of the creation of the National Park Service. The Oct. 16-22 meeting will draw more than 200 park community leaders to the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim.
