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.

Rockfalls along the Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon National Park.

National Park Service officials are warning hikers of possible rockfalls along some of the most popular trails within Grand Canyon National Park.

Backcountry Information Center staff reported three sizeable rockfalls along the Bright Angel Trail.

While the trail remains passable to hikers at this time, officials warn the rockfalls will likely continue on a “routine basis” in the coming weeks and months. The rockfalls are only expected to increase as temperatures rise and the snow melts.

The park is asking people to call Grand Canyon dispatch if they come across more rock falls within the canyon.
