There’s a New Sheriff in Town: Superintendent Uberuaga Arrives at Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon National Park recently welcomed Dave Uberuaga as its new superintendent, replacing Steve Martin who retired in January.

Uberuaga (pronounced “you-burr-ahga”) was most recently the superintendent of Mount Rainier National Park where he spent the bulk of his 34 years in the National Park Service. He also served for a year as the acting superintendent for Yosemite National Park. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Dave on the North Rim shortly after he assumed his new duties, and I can say with certainty that the park is in very good hands going forward.
