searchingfor snow.

Snow in Arizona? Surely you jest? Here’s a quick guide for those craving some of the white stuff!

Mount Lemmon is in the Santa Catalina Mountains located in the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson. It is 9,157 feet above sea-level, and receives approximately 180 inches of snow annually. The drive up the beautiful Catalina Highway traverses four completely different ecological strata. From saguaro cactus at the bottom, to the pine and aspen groves at the top, the drive is breathtaking. During this time of year, you can leave the warm Tucson climate, go skiing or sledding for the day, and be back in the desert before dark!

The White Mountains along the Arizona - New Mexico border are the state’s second highest range. Pinetop-Lakeside and Springerville-Eagar along the northern edge of the range provide the most popular access points. Take a trip to the White Mountains and experience a real Arizona winter. Ski, tube or sled down snow-covered hills and then get warm by a fire. Located 220 miles east of Phoenix and 250 miles north of Tucson, this recreational winter wonderland is not to be missed.

North of Flagstaff at 12,643 feet, the San Francisco Peaks is not only the dominant feature of the forest area known as the Volcanic Highlands, it’s also the highest mountain in Arizona. Three of the summits that ring this dormant volcano’s now quiet inner caldera are higher than any other mountain in the state. This mountain is sacred to the native peoples that live in the area and its soaring profile set against a blue Arizona sky serves as a source of awe to visitors. Hiking, sightseeing, wildlife watching and skiing are the predominant recreation activities enjoyed in this land of moun-tains, forests and lava flows.

The Grand Canyon shows its beautiful, moody side this time of year. Under a blanket of snow, she lays very still. This quietude typifies the canyon in winter and allows one to experience her grandeur as if transported back in time. During winter the air is crisp and the views are sharp. Package a number of Arizona joys into one experi-ence… head to Williams and take the Grand Canyon Railway up to this natural wonder of the world for the day. The Grand Canyon will not disappoint. AZ

There is much to be grateful for as the Thanksgiving Holiday approaches. This month I’d like to highlight Toys for Tots, an organization that has been giving back for almost seven decades. The mission of the program “is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.”

The stated goal is to “deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.”

Toys for Tots began as a Los Angeles charitable effort in 1947. Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR, was inspired by his wife Diane when she tried to donate a homemade Raggedy Ann doll to a needy child but could find no organization to do so. At her suggestion, he gathered a group of local Marine reservists, including Lieutenant Colonel John Hampton, who co-ordinated and collected some 5,000 toys for local children that year from collection bins placed outside of Warner Bros. movie theaters. Their efforts were so successful that, in 1948, Toys for Tots was launched as a national campaign. Hendricks used his position as director of Public Relations for Warner Brothers Studio to enlist celebrity support, as well as have Walt Disney Studios design the red toy train logo.

Until 1979, Marine reservists (frequently in their dress blue uniforms) and volunteers would collect and refurbish used toys. In 1980, only new toys were accepted, as reservists were no longer able to dedicate drill hours to refurbish toys, as well as legal concerns and the mixed message of giving hand-me-downs as a message of hope.

In 1991, the Secretary of Defense authorized the creation and affiliation with the non-profit charity foundation. In 1995, the Secretary of Defense approved Toys for Tots as an official mission of the Marine Corps Reserve. Noting in 1996 that many communities did not have a Marine reservist presence, the commander of the Marine Forces Reserve authorized Marine Corps League detachments and other local organizations to fill the gaps in toy collection and distribution.

In 2009, the program received support from First Lady Michelle Obama, who placed the first collection box at the White House. As of 2013, the Toys for Tots Program and Foundation have collected and distributed more than 469 million toys.

At KEY, we’re very thankful to all who support our magazine - advertisers, concierge, travel planners, and our readers. Sharing the beauty and granduer of Arizona each month is a rewarding labor of love. Welcome to November in Arizona. No matter where you’re visiting from, we’re glad to have you. Happy Thanksgiving, and best wishes for a very joyous Holiday Season.

Throughout the ages, drums have

been used for many purposes. From leading religious processions and directing the actions of troops to communicating messages and fostering community, drums have enduring importance in human life. It is because of this that the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) is exploring the great variation in drums as part of its newest exhibition, “Beyond the Beat: Drums of the World.”

beyond the beat:DRUMS OF

THE WORLD Opening Saturday, November 15, “Beyond the Beat: Drums of the World” features more than 100 drums from around the globe. The collection is accom-panied by dozens of videos, photographs and other multimedia content selected by MIM curators to tell the unique stories of these instruments. Highlights include a display focused on the invention, evolution and internationalization of the drum set featuring a 1920s early Leedy drum set and other vintage instru-ment parts, and a 1969 Camco drum set that Doug “Cosmo” Clifford of Creedence Clearwater Revival played during recordings and performances. Exhibition guests will be able to play a six-foot com-munal drum, experience the interlocking rhythms of Afro-Cuban rumba, hear the language of the North

Indian tabla, understand influences of the Ottoman Empire on European drum traditions and witness drums of Africa and Asia in ritual contexts. To celebrate the opening of the exhibition, MIM will host a weekend event on November 15 and 16 where guests of all ages can experience drums from around the world through performances, dance, crafts and, of course, drumming! The exhibition, located in MIM’s Target Gallery, will run through June 21, 2015. Entrance is $10 for the exhibition only or $7 when purchased with general museum admission. Check MIM.org for concerts, curator talks and events paying homage to the drum throughout the run of the exhibition. AZ

JAN TAYLOR

Featured Artist during Hidden in

Gallery

Enjoy and observe Jan Taylor at work during the Hidden in the Hills Studio Tour at Wild Holly Gallery,

November 21 - 23 & 28 - 30.

22 Easy Street Carefree, AZ 85377

480-595-8757 wildhollygallery.com

An avid equestrian since childhood, it is only natural for Jan Taylor to draw artistic inspiration from her

relationships with horses. They have played an important role in her life and are inevitably depicted in her art. Much like the cowboys and Na-tive Americans she romanticized in her early work, Taylor perceives ani-mals as companions and guardians rather than simply as pets. She feels honored to be with them, believing that they can teach us quite a bit about ourselves. The artist learned, firsthand, how influential they could be when turning to her animals during difficult times in her past. Grateful for the unconditional love they provide, she claims horses are her very reason for being, and it is her passion for these creatures that has directed her life’s work.

Her ability to empathize with human and animal relationships led to a successful career creating commissioned pet portraits in her chosen hometown of Cave Creek, Ar-izona. She began each project with a visit to the client, during which she would observe and photograph their pet. The reference images often provided insight into the animal’s personality. Taylor could capture their unique character by illuminat-ing the expressive qualities the owner had come to love. The detail she added to the eyes brought the artwork to life reflecting the inner spirit of the animal. Many clients were moved to tears upon seeing the finished painting, particularly if their pet was no loner with them. Seeing the joy she brought to others, Taylor knew this was what she was meant to do. AZ

There are real cowboy bars all over the great wide American West, but few that serve up great live music daily like Scottsdale’s Rusty Spur Saloon. The Rusty Spur has authentic country and western music every day of the week. Johnny

Cash or Gene Autry wouldn’t be out of place here.

the

The Rusty Spur has both kinds of music – country and western. Well, actually it’s got a bit of blues and rockabilly in the mix as well. Acts range from the singing cowboy in the corner to a full country band rocking away on its tiny stage.

If you’re looking for a fancy live event with all the

bells and whistles, the Rusty Spur isn’t for you. But if you want to duck out of the Arizona heat and enjoy an ice cold beer and some hot country dancing, this is the place. It’s known not only for its excellent live acts, but for its boisterous, lively crowds, especially on weekend nights. The Rusty Spur offers a guaran-teed good ol’ time.

otSedona and north central ariZona

Varied and vibrant aptly describe the north central region. The famous Red Rocks of Sedona. The bar where Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday drank whiskey. The mining town carved on a hillside. With four seasons and something for everyone, this region begs to be seen and will not soon be forgotten.

POPULAR DESTINATIONS INCLUDE:Sedona – Often called “Red Rock Country” Sedona is a four seasons playground for everyone – whether you’re into history and archaeology; arts and culture; power shopping; outdoor sports; or the spiritual and metaphysical, imagine doing all this in a backdrop of some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. Indeed, this picturesque city is surrounded by red-rock monoliths named Coffeepot, Cathedral and Thunder Mountain. At the north end of the city is the stunning Oak Creek Canyon, a breathtaking chasm that even today, is wildly wonderful. 800-288-7336

Prescott – Just 90 minutes north of Phoenix, “Everybody’s Hometown” is an ideal destination for golfers, outdoor adventure seekers, and western history buffs. From its majestic rock formations at Granite Dells to five area lakes to more than 450 miles of well-groomed hiking, biking and horseback riding trails, Prescott knows no boundaries for exploring the area’s stunning natural beauty. The downtown Courthouse Plaza is Prescott’s historic heart. The plaza is bordered by the famous Whiskey Row, known to have hosted the likes of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday--and still hosts eclectic boutiques, galleries, antique shops, and restaurants. 800-266-7534

Jerome – After the mines closed in 1953 and “King Copper” left town, the population went from a peak of 15,000 in the 1920s to a low of 50 people. The Jerome Historical Society guarded the buildings against vandalism and the elements, the Douglas Mansion became a

State Park in 1965, and Jerome became a National Historic Landmark in 1976. During the 60’s and 70’s, Jerome of-fered a haven for artists. Soon newcomers and Jerome old timers were working together to bring Jerome back to life. Today, Jerome is very much alive with writers, artists, artisans, musi-cians, historians, and families. 928-634-2900 AZ

The incredible array of colors displayed by Sedona’s famous Red Rocks is a direct result of iron oxide in water seeping into sandstone rock formations. Water carrying dissolved iron oxide drains through the porous sandstone and literally paints quartz grains – you guessed it – red!

The Red Rocks vary in origin, color and age. Some were originally sea sediment while others came from blowing sand. You’ll see bright orange, red and tan rocks. The brightest orange rocks are more than 250 million

years old. White and grey rocks are limestone that formed at the bottom of the sea or sandstone that had its red color washed out by water. You may also stumble across basalt extruded by volcanoes in the past.

Sedona and its famous Red Rocks have been in the mak-ing for hundreds of millions of years. There are many ways to enjoy the scenery, just be sure to get out and experience Sedona’s world renowned Red Rocks! And re-member, take only memories, leave only footprints. AZ

One of the natural wonders of the world. The mighty Colorado River. Painted deserts. What more could you ask for? Northern Arizona invites you to indulge your sense of adventure and wonder. Hike it, drive it, ski it, fly over it, float down it – just be sure to get here and

immerse yourself in it.

POPULAR DESTINATIONS INCLUDE:Grand Canyon – The canyon is a spectacular experience at any time of year. Whatever the season... spring, summer, fall, winter... each brings an intimate mood to the splendor of the Grand Canyon that will make your first visit very special. Savor the delicate fragrance of spring wildflowers as you stroll along the Canyon Rim. Enjoy a fresh summer breeze rich with the scent of pine following a brief afternoon thundershower. Discover color that only nature can create in the fall flowers and canyon oaks as they prepare for the coming winter season. See winter clouds hanging heavy over the Canyon after a fresh snow, lifting like a theatre curtain to reveal nature’s newest spec-tacle. In every season the Grand Canyon is a spectacular vision

Williams – While today’s visitors can experience the modern amenities seen in most tourist destinations, they are also invited to personally share in the history and nostalgia of this mountain community. Founded in the late 1800’s by ranchers, railroaders, and lumbermen, remnants of those early days are still visible in the buildings, streets, and neighborhoods of modern-day Williams. Saloons, bordellos, and shops have been brought back to life and visitors can now stroll the brick sidewalks of the historic district, enjoying the sights and sounds of times now nearly gone. 800-863-0646

ENJOYING THE SOUTH RIMIndividual interests, available time, weather, and health considerations can influence your visit to the South Rim. Use the information available on the web site, www.nps.gov/grca/, to help plan your visit. Once you arrive in the park, read The Guide and talk with the rangers for up-to-the-minute information.

Elevations along the rim vary from 6650 feet (2030 m) at Hermits Rest to more than 7400 feet (2260 m) at Desert View near the East Entrance. Summer tempera-tures are pleasant along the rim, but increase rapidly as you descend into the canyon. Low humidity makes for big temperature differences between day and night. The low humidity and high elevation also means that it is important to drink water frequently.

Afternoon thundershowers are common in July, August, and early September. Windy conditions prevail in April and May. Snow may fall as early as November. Winter snowstorms continue into March.

Many miles of roads along the rim feature numerous pullouts to enjoy the views. Hermit Road to Hermit Rest is open to private vehicles only from December through February. The free shuttle bus system provides a worry-free way to explore the developed areas of the rim.

The Rim Trail winds along the rim for more than 13 miles (21 km), much of it paved and suitable for visitors in wheelchairs. The Greenway, a broad, paved pathway suitable for hikers, bicyclists, and wheelchairs, leads two miles (3 km) from Grand Canyon Visitor Center to Grand Canyon Village. A separate segment heads east from Hermits Rest along the rim. The Bright Angel and South Kaibab trails descend steeply into the canyon.

Rangers present programs—walks, talks, and evening presentations—throughout the year. All activities are free. Check in The Guide for programs during your stay.

VISITOR CENTERSThe National Park Service staffs several visitor centers on the South Rim. All are open every day of the year; hours vary seasonally.

Grand Canyon Visitor CenterLocated near Mather PointThe largest visitor center on the South Rim is a good stop for an introduction to Grand Canyon and for as-sistance in planning your visit.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I get happy just seeing the dinner pictures on this page. Mom makes it so delicious with her wonderful cooking (especially her gravy and fresh baked rolls), and I love eating turkey. This got me thinking about the origins of the the holiday dinner.

According to what traditionally is known as “The First Thanksgiving,” the 1621 feast between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag at Plymouth Colony contained turkey, waterfowl, venison, fish, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin, and squash. Many of the foods that were included in that feast (except the seafood) have since gone on to become staples of

BY JAMES RUBERTO

the modern Thanksgiving dinner.The use of the turkey in the USA for Thanksgiving precedes President Lincoln’s nationalization of the holiday in 1863. Alexander Hamilton proclaimed that no “Citizen of the United States should refrain from turkey on Thanks-giving Day,” and many of the Founding Fathers had high regard for the wild turkey, but turkey was uncommon as Thanksgiving fare until after 1800. By 1857, turkey had become part of the traditional dinner in New England.

Thanksgiving is sometimes called “Turkey Day.” Most Thanksgiving turkeys are stuffed with a bread-based stuffing and roasted. Sage is the traditional herb added to the stuffing (also called dressing), along with chopped celery, carrots, and onions. Deep-fried turkey is rising in popularity, requiring special fryers to hold the large bird, and reportedly leading to fires and bad burns for those who fail to take care when dealing with a large quantity of very hot oil. In more recent years it is also true that as the wild population of turkeys has rebounded in most of the US, some will hunt and dress their turkey in the woods and then freeze it until meal preparation. Butterball, a national turkey producer, runs a well-known hotline (the “Turkey Talk Line”) for those who need assistance cooking a turkey!

Regardless of your view (or appetite) of turkey, I hope everyone has a very Happy

Thanksgiving. AZ

ariZona ViSitorS aSK…?BY JOHNNY FENTON, M.A. CONCIERGE, OMNI TUCSONNATIONAL RESORT

[Johnny Fenton—a 35-year resident of Tucson—is past President of the Southern Arizona Concierge Network, member of the National Concierge Association, and Les Clefs d’Or. U.S.A.]

Q. “We have an unusual request…” (What are some of the more unusual requests fulfilled by our local hotel and resort concierges?)

A. They say you can’t please all of the people all of the time, but it’s a con-cierge’s job to give it their best shot. Do you need a showgirl to jump out of a cake; a magician to teach you a vanishing trick by 5 p.m.; a mariachi band to serenade your girlfriend after a planned proposal; a medieval knight’s costume, a pet funeral arranged or someone to shop for a specific gift when you’ve run out of time? Interviews with area Les Clefs d’Or (LCD) concierges revealed some creative service and 5-star effort on the part of these gold key professionals.*

Les Clefs d’Or concierge Anita Lane at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch in Central Arizona recounted a request filled there by a former gold keys concierge. A guest from Saudi Arabia staying at the resort was visiting a former business associate and his family who had lived in Saudi Arabia as well. Upon preparing to depart, he remembered his as-sociate’s daughter (now living in a rural area outside Phoenix) wishing that she could still play with the goats that are common pets in his country. So at the concierge desk, he expressed his desire to give a goat as a parting gift to the child. After calling a dozen pet stores, the concierge found a newspaper classified ad for two goats under “livestock” and purchased them-- sold only as a package-- for the guest. When the farmer came to collect from the guest for his animals, the goats got loose on the drive at the Hyatt, but were eventu-ally corralled and trucked to the surprised little girl! April Moore (LCD) at the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley recounts the research involved for a grieving client who wanted to have the cremation ashes from her precious pet dog made into a diamond! The guest was relieved to find the concierge had located a local funeral home that would coordinate with a Chicago-based company to create this gem (prices ranged from $2,500 to $25,000.) Moore also makes a point when she states that longtime guests often call her during their travels across the continent to make arrangements in other cities because she has established a warm relationship with them. This is a sentiment expressed by others in this elite service corps.

Love is alive and well at Omni Tucson National Resort in Southern Arizona. One optimistic guest asked their concierge to spell out “Will you

marry me?” in rose petals on the bed prior to check in. And a former Tucson resident with a sweet tooth who stays at the resort when visiting parents, requests a box of cinnamon rolls from the Village Bakehouse upon checkout. Anyone who’s ever bitten into a freshly glazed 6-inch cinroll out of their French ovens at the VB will understand. The Lodge at Ventana Canyon Resort’s Concierge Supervisor Arlene Corey had to punt when a guest’s plan to propose escalated into a full blown wedding! The newly-minted engaged couple came to her the next day with a vivid description of the reactions of both families to the telephoned “news.” Both mothers wanted to host the wedding at their own country clubs in different parts of the country. So the befuddled sweethearts asked the concierge to help them hatch a wedding plan faster than a jack rabbit in front of a prairie fire! Tuxedo and bridal shop rentals were located. A Justice of the Peace was summoned. Corey picked up white roses at the Safeway, ordered champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for the suite and recruited staff for witnesses. That afternoon when they texted photos of their ceremony be-neath the Catalina Mountains to both families, certainly the mothers were surprised that the concierge and resort staff were the exclusive attendees at their children’s nuptials!

VerdeCanyon Railroad

Arizona’s Longest Running Nature Show

For reservations800-582-7245

verdecanyonrr.com

Long before humans wishing to escape chilly climates deemed sunny Arizona an ideal winter getaway, the original “snowbirds” were already here. Starting in December each year Arizona’s pro-

tected Verde Canyon welcome bald and golden eagles and a great variety of hawks as they join resident raptors in the Canyon’s riparian paradise. An ideal eagle breeding habitat with cozy cliffs for nesting, abundant prey and the perenni-ally flowing river full of fat fish, Verde Canyon is a sheltered area closed to the public from December through June.

Verde Canyon Railroad provides the ONLY vantage point to view this population of extraordinary animals in their natural habitat. The eagles pay no mind as this heritage railroad, slow rolling along this river for more than 100 years, clickety-clacks its way to Perkinsville and back on a four-hour journey. The raptors not only live harmoni-ously with the train, they also share this wild refuge with countless other feathered and furred, including Great Blue Heron, Javelina, coyote, brown bear, elk, deer and an oc-casional brigade of feral burros. With wingspans stretching

to six feet, the majestic eagles carve lazy circles in the brilliant blue sky, captivating train passengers

with their aerial acrobatics as they waft over-head or engage in breathtaking courting rituals.

Verde Canyon Railroad takes its title, “Arizona’s Longest Running Nature Show,” quite seriously. In addition to providing support for Arizona Game & Fish’s Eagle Watch program, the train is sponsor to Scottsdale’s Liberty Wildlife, an animal rescue and rehabilitation center that tends to the needs of thousands of abandoned and injured Arizona wild creatures each year.

The vintage FP7 locomotives are both dressed proudly in eagle livery, the national bird’s visage leading the train’s way through the winding, wild canyon. Comfortable first-class accommodations lavish passengers in a luxurious living-room setting, including an abundant selection of appetizers and attentive beverage service right to the comfy seats. Coach-class is redolent of vintage-style passenger car charm with a well-stocked snack bar. Both classes have access to open-air viewing cars, a favorite aspect to this rail journey immersing passengers into the sights, sounds and scents of this wild western canyon. It’s the best location on the train during “Eagle Watch” season. AZ
