It has thousands (yes, thousands) of archaeological sites, having been one of the most densely populated areas on the entire Colorado Plateau. That is a major reason it needs to be protected.

For the rest use what is used for example in Nevada for the Black Rock Desert, a National Conservation area, which for example allows Buring Man to happen on it? In Bears Ears for Example you could Protect the Comb Ridge area also. lylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211670216140060946.post-74380164856557698982017-07-22T16:57:50.721-07:002017-07-22T16:57:50.721-07:00http://www.hcn.org/articles/monuments-how-grand-st...http://www.hcn.org/articles/monuments-how-grand-staircase-escalante-was-set-up-to-failAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211670216140060946.post-34868946171207686152017-07-22T13:05:32.255-07:002017-07-22T13:05:32.255-07:00Amen!Amen!Cathy Crandallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908280414499913149noreply@blogger.com
