  • Innumerable petroglyphs mark Newspaper Rock, near Canyonlands National Park in Utah. This is perhaps the most highly visited rock art site in Utah and certainly one of the most elaborate. Petroglyphs are pecked into the rock, usually through a darkly patinated surface, to reveal the lighter rock below. Hundreds of figures have been created here during both prehistoric and historic times but are primarily Anasazi of the Abajo-La Sal style. The most recent Ute-style contributions include the horse and rider. The Navajo name for this site is Tse Hane, meaning "rock that tells a story." Located along a pre-historic travel corridor and perennial stream which flows off the Abajo Mountains to the south, thousands of people must have passed this way over the ages. Many of these people obviously paused to add their contribution to this slab of Wingate sandstone.

  • Cliff dwellings in Fry Canyon, Utah. <br />
<br />
The canyon is a tributary of Utah's White Canyon, which makes a gorgeous, serpentine cut through Cedar Mesa, near Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. But it remains unprotected.<br />
<br />
It lies at the heart of the proposed Glen Canyon Wilderness, where the vast expanse of Paleozoic-era sandstone known as Nokai Dome eases its way to the upper reaches of Lake Powell in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.  This region also includes the soaring Wingate Cliffs of the Red Rock Plateau, Mancos Mesa, Moqui Canyon with its meandering stream, Red Canyon, and the serpentine side canyons of White Canyon. This is one of the most remote regions of the state, but it lacks protection and is threatened by increasing ORV use.<br />
<br />
It is all part of the San Juan-Canyonlands region of Southeastern Utah is one of the most iconic landscapes recommended for protection in America's Red Rock Wilderness Act, boasting dramatic geologic features wrought by elemental forces, as well as internationally significant cultural sites of the Ancestral Puebloans and the Mormon Pioneers. Adorned with buttes and arches, vast stretches of slickrock deposited over 250 million years ago, ancient pinyon-juniper forests and an artist's pallet of red-hued sandstone, the San Juan-Canyonlands region has inspired explorers since the days of John Wesley Powell, and its wonders represent some of the greatest unprotected wilderness in the country.
