Of course if the Grand
Staircase would have been put under the care of the Park Service, that is most
likely what would have happened. So if
you talk to someone and get such a response, it’s probably because they asked
the Park Service what to do with a monument and they were told to close all the
roads.
I have a copy of the actual document with President Clinton’s
proclamation of Grand Staircase and it specifically states, “families will be
able to use this canyon as they always have - the land will remain open for
multiple uses including hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and grazing.”
Based on that document, I decided to go see what was out
there. Ramblin’ Rose and Loco Weed
decided to tag along. We were pleased
with what we found. High plateaus, deep
magnificently carved canyons, and (with a short side trip into Glen Canyon Rec
Area) spectacular views of Lake Powell.
