Grand Canyon West Art Gallery

There's no shortage of artistic talent and craftsmanship in our little town of Dolan Springs, where much of it is showcased in the Grand Canyon West Art Gallery. Stop in on your way home for souvenirs designed, created and made by local artists.

The Art Gallery is easy to miss if you're not looking for it, so be sure to look. It's next to the red Indian Trading Post with a big parking lot out front.

Mt. Tipton School Panther Garden

A dream became reality when the students at Mt. Tipton School completed their year-long project of an outdoor community garden boasting six raised bed gardens. With help and supervision from their teacher, the students built each garden with hundreds of hand-painted bricks and hauled the mulch to fill them. Then with advice from two master gardeners from the University of Arizona extension in Kingman, the students planted broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage from seed.






Here are pictures I took one month after completion of the beds.

Then a little more than a year after that, the school held an Earth Day Fair. That's when I took these pictures. There is a life-size chess-board with two- foot tall chess pieces. The centerpiece of the garden is a Panther fountain. This metal sculpture was designed, built and donated by local metal artist Shane Robinson.

This is where it all begins, in the classroom.
