Management

Service First

On January 11, 2000, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument an area of 1,048,321 acres was set aside by Presidential Proclamation to protect the array of scientific and historic objects, and the remote, scenic qualities of the region. The National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management share responsibility for the management of this land - consistent with applicable laws and policies. Parashant is managed as a Service First Authority monument.

Regulations

There are a variety of rules and regulations that dictate how the park must be managed. These regulations help us protect monument resources while also providing visitors with a safe and enjoyable experience.

• Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR - Parks, Forests, and Public Property) These are general regulations that apply to all national park areas.

• Superintendent's Compendium: The compendium is updated as needed under the discretionary authority of the superintendent. It provides a list of additional regulations specific to Parashant National Monument.

Management Plans

A variety of management plans inform and direct the day-to-day decisions of monument managers. Please contact us using the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page if you would like to be emailed any of the following documents.

Note: The above PDFs can be emailed but they currently do not work with screen reader programs for those with limited vision. The monument is looking into revising the documents so they work with this software. At that time the revised PDFs will be uploaded.
