For years Senator McCain has posed as a friend of restoring quiet over the Grand Canyon-
It’s not true, and on Monday the U.S. Senate will vote on his amendment to lock in the noise, according to the Sierra Club. Of course you would be wise to do your own research, but here is the ...

Both elk and bison currently stable-
