Readers are told, “Eagles, hawks, falcons, owls and vultures nest in the canyon walls, ride the updrafts (thermals) rising from the valley and hunt the sagebrush-covered mesas for ground squirrels and jackrabbits.” "The NCA is mentioned in the magazine's "Long Weekend Living" section in an article titled "Flights of Fancy".
