My special spot in Oak Creek Canyon is the Cave Springs Campground area.
Cave Springs was originally homesteaded by Civil War veteran Oliver Pain Harding. Harding came to Flagstaff in 1884, and then homesteaded in upper Oak Creek Canyon. He was a stonemason and an early Flagstaff contractor; Harding was responsible for all the stone work on the McMillan Building, at the corner of Railroad and Gold Avenues and other downtown Flagstaff buildings. He was called Colonel Harding, but truth be known he had achieved the rank of brigadier general.
Richard McGaugh was born in Flagstaff, grew up in Fort Valley, and worked for a few decades for the City of Flagstaff. When he's not being a Roving Ranger, Richard's favorite hobby is Northern Arizona history.
The NPS/USFS Roving Rangers volunteer through a unique agreement between the Flagstaff Area National Monuments and the Coconino National Forest to provide Interpretive Ranger walks and talks in the Flagstaff area each summer.
