Lower Cliff Dwelling Access Plan

Tonto National Monument is charged with protecting archeological resources for the enjoyment of current and future generations, in perpetuity. Toward that end, monument managers must routinely make decisions which define the balance between current enjoyment and protection for future generations. This document lays out the issues concerning access to the Lower Cliff Dwelling and a range of possible solutions for your consideration. At this early stage of planning, monument managers are particularly interested in your comments on the following: a) does the range of alternatives include all reasonable ways to solve the problems as stated and, b) does the list of issues include all those pertinent to responsible management of Monument resources. Comments will be accepted through August 31, 2005. After comments have been received and reviewed, Monument managers will make any adjustments necessary and conduct an environmental assessment of the alternatives, which will include a proposed action and another opportunity for your comments.
