Kiowa Gordon, a Hualapai Tribal member and part of the Twilight series’ “Wolf Pack,” has joined with Hualapai Tourism to offer his fans the opportunity to get up close and personal with him while enjoying the beauty of Grand Canyon West, home of the Skywalk. On October 25, 2012 he will spend the night at Grand Canyon West in the Hualapai Ranch cabins. Fans are welcomed to book a cabin for that night and visit with him. “Come enjoy my tribe’s beautiful slice of the Grand Canyon and howl at the moon with me,” said Gordon.   

The following day on October 26, Gordon will be at Grand Canyon West’s viewpoints to take photos throughout the day. Any visitor that purchases a Grand Canyon West package will have access to the appearance/photo opportunities and those who reserve in advance using the promo code “KG12” will receive an autographed photo. 

Gordon’s celebrity has grown rapidly since 2009 by playing Embry Call in New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn (part 1 and 2) but he has never lost the connection to his Hualapai roots. Gordon is seventh of eight children. His mother, Camille Nighthorse, is an active member of the Tribe and also in show business. His grandmother, Mabelene Mahone, resides in Peach Springs, the capital of the Hualapai Nation and headquarters of Hualapai Tourism. Gordon’s great uncle, Weldon Mahone, was one of the elders who believed strongly that tourism was the future of the Tribe. Mahone actually helped grade the land for the project that included the original dirt runway at Grand Canyon West Airport, now one of Arizona’s busiest.
