KNAU Arizona Public Radio continues to integrate new audio software into both our news and classical services, resulting in some glitches. Thank you for your support and patience through this upgrade.

KNAU 88.7 is restored to full power. APS cut power to our system atop Mormon Mountain to service another radio station's electricity meter and restored it early Monday morning.

A national monument near Flagstaff will be closed for two days while a helicopter delivers material to widen a trail.

Walnut Canyon National Monument will be closed to visitors Thursday and Friday. It's about 10 miles southeast of Flagstaff.

Rock and other material will be transported via long-line helicopter to the Island Trail that's 185 feet below the canyon rim.

The trail is about one mile round-trip and takes visitors past more than two dozen ancient cliff dwellings.

About 300 people visit the monument during the weekdays this time of year.
