Red Pueblo Museum

Friends, if you've ever visited The RED Pueblo Anasazi Museum in Fredonia, Arizona would you consider giving us a quick SHOUTOUT or review on your favorite social media platform?

Our collection of Native American artifacts and local history have allowed us to be #1 on Google and #2 on TripAdvisor — but Yelp hasn't caught on yet...?!? Any love you can share on other platforms is also greatly appreciated!

A quick photo, tag, check-in, or review on your favorite social media takes just a minute, but helps other travelers immensely in finding us as they pass along the Grand Canyon–Zion corridor.

Thanks in advance for your help in spreading the word!

Red Pueblo would like to give a quick shout-out to the Native American exhibit now on display at the Washington City Museum on Main Street. It offers visitors an opportunity to experience a small portion of the Clare & Jane Paxman family collection, showcasing meaningful artifacts and stories that help bring Indigenous heritage to life.

The museum is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and features several rooms of pioneer heritage antiques. The Paxman collection is located on the first floor, just inside the front door to the right—easy to access and view in just a few minutes. If you visit on a Monday afternoon, you may even have the chance to meet Kelly Paxman, who can share personal insight into the collection and its history. Don’t miss this engaging and enriching exhibit—it’s a chance to learn, reflect, and celebrate a meaningful part of our shared cultural story.

Many of our followers reminded me after our last post that if you're heading to Jacob Lake, you shouldn't miss a stop at LeFevre Overlook! Perched at approximately 6,700 feet in elevation, this scenic viewpoint offers some of the most breathtaking vistas in northern Arizona. On a clear day, you can see more than 30 miles across the landscape, with sweeping views of much of Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument from a single location.

If you're lucky enough to find it vacant, there's even a small stone alcove tucked away inside the overlook that makes the perfect spot to enjoy a picnic lunch while staying out of the sun. Whether you're photographing the scenery, stretching your legs, or simply soaking in the incredible views, LeFevre Overlook is a stop that's well worth adding to your road trip itinerary.

Escape the summer heat with a quick trip to Jacob Lake, nestled in the beautiful Kaibab National Forest near the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park! Sitting at an elevation of 7,925 feet above sea level, Jacob Lake offers cool mountain air, towering pines, and a refreshing escape from the desert temperatures below.

While you're there, treat yourself to one of the area's famous milkshakes and delicious homemade cookies—a favorite tradition for visitors exploring the North Rim! While you are there, you may also want to catch a sunset and have dinner...

Anasazi corn is looking good today in the garden out back of the museum. 👍

Good enough that the chipmunks have been helping themselves to a few samples… shall we tell them this isn’t COSTCO?

The Red Pueblo Museum extends its sincere thanks to the Roger and Kathleen Holland family for generously loaning us a remarkable artifact: a Paiute rabbit net.

This important piece of history represents a community hunting practice in which multiple nets like this one were stretched across the bottom of a valley or gully. Tribal members would then move in coordinated lines down the ravine, guiding rabbits toward the waiting nets. These "rabbit drives," provided an important source of food and demonstrated the cooperation, skill, and resourcefulness of the Paiute people.

We are honored to share this artifact with our visitors and grateful to the Holland family for helping preserve and celebrate this important cultural heritage.

We are glad the North Rim is opening for the 2026 Season on May 15th!

North Rim Reopens for Summer 2026

A quieter, rarer side of the Grand Canyon returns this summer. The North Rim is scheduled to reopen for the 2026 season on May 15, welcoming visitors back after the 2025 Dragon Bravo Fire.

This season offers something different. With fewer services and lighter visitation, it’s a chance to experience the North Rim in a more reflective state and see firsthand how the landscape is recovering.

Visitors can expect access to select scenic drives, viewpoints, and trails, with use focused mainly on day trips and limited backcountry opportunities. Services will be very limited, so planning ahead is essential. Potable water, fuel, lodging, and other amenities may be unavailable within the park. Please note that the Grand Canyon Lodge will not be open this season.

The General Store and Gas Station are expected to provide basic supplies along with grab-and-go food and beverages. The North Rim Campground is anticipated to reopen for tent and RV camping (no hookups) as conditions allow, with reservations available through Recreation.gov once confirmed.

As recovery work continues, conditions may change and temporary closures may occur to ensure visitor safety. We encourage visitors to stay informed before arriving.

We look forward to welcoming visitors back to the North Rim this summer.
