.
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument will be open to the public at the new time of 9:00 a.m. beginning Friday, May1, 2009. The current opening time of 8:00 a.m. is being changed after an examination of patterns of visitation and park use revealed that few visitors arrive at the monument before 9:00 a.m. The new visitor hours will allow park staff to better manage monument resources while serving the public, park visitors, educational groups, and surrounding communities. Casa Grande Ruins National Monument will remain open until 5:00 p.m. seven days a week, every day of the year except for Christmas and Thanksgiving days. Additional information about Casa Grande Ruins National Monument—including directions and fees—is available on the monument’s website: http://www.nps.gov/cagr.

Did You Know?
Burrowing owls are unique among birds because they nest underground in existing ground squirrel, coyote, and badger burrows. They are also commonly associated with humans and will frequently nest in burrows along irrigation ditches, canals, and even in people’s yards.
