Steve Schmorieitz, of Citrus Heights, Calif., enjoys photographing national monuments. Monument management A patchwork of federal agencies supervises the operation and protec tion of national monuments, including the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “The presidential proclamation that establishes a national monument designates which agency will manage the monument," says Peter Mali of the National Landscape Conservation System, an initiative of the BLM. U.S. presidents have created 124 national monuments while Congress has added 38 to the total. However, through the years, some shifts in designation and administration have taken place; for example, Grand Canyon National Monument, dedicated in 1908, was converted to a national park in 1919. Because the intent is for monuments to be enjoyed by the nation’s citizens, costs are kept to a minimum. Many monuments have no entrance fee and none exceeds sl2 per person. Financial planner Steve Schmorieitz, of Citrus Heights, Calif., is so enamored with America's treasures that he created the website ivunv.nationaiparklover.com to showcase his photography and the natu ral beauty of the country. “I've been to every national monu ment west of the Rockies and many oth ers as well,” Schmorieitz says. Among his favorites are Bandelier National Monu ment near Santa Fe, N.M., and Canyon de Chelly National Monument in north eastern Arizona. "Both really represent the national monument as it was set out to be. They both represent history and natural beauty.” Bandelier is home to a host of ancient ruins including freestanding structures made of stone and mud as well as the homes of cliff dwellers who lived in the canyon walls of the Jemez Mountains.
