Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park was dedicated in 2016 as a place to remember the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshot Firefighters who were lost on June 30, 2013, while fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire. We invite you to hike the trail to better understand the experience of these men as well as to appreciate the beauty of the town of Yarnell and the surrounding areas. Hike the Hotshots Trail from the parking lot trailhead up to the overlook where you'll see sweeping views in every direction, and perhaps leave a memento on our remembrance wall. Or continue your hike down the Memorial Trail, where you can pay your respects at the site where the Hotshots were recovered. The hike is approximately 3.5 miles long from the trailhead to the Fatality Site, for a full length of about 7 miles.
SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Amazon.com is spending heavily to build a digital-download business - and that has investors worried, as it prepares to take on Apple, the undefeated champion of online music, in a fight over online movies.

Amazon has long been rumored to be developing both a digital music and video service to compete with Apple's iTunes. Now, a report in Advertising Age suggests that Amazon is having second thoughts about competing in music but is ready to launch a movie and TV download service in mid-August.
A head-to-head contest between Amazon and Apple for supremacy over digital movies could be the biggest thriller of the summer. No one's yet made a very big business from selling movie downloads over the Internet, but both Amazon and Apple have a good shot at it, and for very different reasons.
Apple's advantage is obvious: Through iTunes, it already dominates the legal music download market. It would be relatively straightforward for the company to add movies to the TV shows and other videos it already hawks online.
One of the main reasons iTunes is so successful is because Apple devotes most of its sizeable marketing budget to it and the iPod. Expect more of the same with any movie download service: Apple can tie in marketing of its video iPod to any new movie offerings.
On the marketing front, Amazon can direct its considerable Web traffic to its digital video service the day it launches. With millions of people going through its online store every day, it could easily start promoting digital downloads of movies to that captive audience.
Apple may seem to have an advantage with the video iPod, which it can make sure works well with any movie download service it launches. But Steve Jobs himself has dismissed the notion of watching two-hour-long videos on a small screen that you have to hold in your hand. People prefer to watch movies on big screens. As long as Amazon can get the movie to your PC, or better yet, the flat-screen TV in your living room, it should do all right.
After adding a few movies and TV shows to my instant queue, I walked from my home office over to my living room to find that the tagged programs and films were already available on my device. That simply and quickly, I had full-length movies and TV shows available for my viewing pleasure, some even in High Def. Cool!
In addition to instant streaming, Netflix customers can get DVDs or Blu-ray Discs by mail for more traditional movie-watching. On standard definition titles, colors were a bit muted compared to DVD and aliasing artifacts were visible around edges and in static backgrounds, but overall the quality was pretty good. For HD films, the quality bar was usually full with the letters "HD" at the end showing that I was indeed getting the high definition versions of the films or TV shows. Video quality on these was noticeably better than standard def titles, with fewer artifacts, richer more saturated colors and improved detail. Panning shots and fast moving images did exhibit some motion smearing, but nothing too drastic. This is not Blu-ray quality, but if you want that, then simply add the Blu-ray Disc for any film in your regular Netflix queue and you'll have it in a day or two.
At the end of last week, while most folks were preparing for the holidays, Sears Holdings quietly launched their new movie download service, originally announced in June, called Alphaline Entertainment.
If there is one thing we don't need in the market, it's another poorly priced movie download service offering absolutely nothing of value to what's already available today. It's like Movielink all over again. Does Sears really think their offering has any shot at competing in the market when BestBuy, who's been offering movies online for almost three years now, has almost no traction? The execs at Sears making these decisions must be living in a bubble.
I can't remember ever running into anyone who thought that the Sears or Kmart brand meant digital distribution or disruption. And this new service isn't going to change that. But to me, the real question is why does Sears even want to get into this business in the first place? There is not much money to be made re-labeling video services and it's not like BestBuy, Blockbuster and Walmart are falling over themselves with cash from their online offerings. In fact, neither BestBuy, Walmart, Blockbuster, Sony, Microsoft, or any of the other movie download services outside of Apple will even say how many movies or TV shows they have rented or sold. 2ff7e9595c
