Photo by @melissafarlow | Grand Staircase Escalante in Utah ranks as one of the most amazing places I’ve ever seen. It is vast, remote and rugged with geologic artistry of sandstone and sculpted cliffs above canyons. When working on an assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック on public lands, I hiked to places so fragile and beautiful that I never imagined they existed. I watched paleontologists work to uncover puzzles to the past. At night I heard nothing but silence. I saw planets and stars in a clear, dark sky. I flew over some of the 1.9 million acres when it was first designated a National Monument in 1996 amazed I’d never known this special place before. And it was protected until this past week when it shrunk to nearly half its size and was split from a contiguous wilderness into separate areas. Big business and states rights got a sympathetic presidents ear and #Trump reversed federal protection. Bears Ears National Monument was cut by 85 percent. Other places are being reviewed. These monuments protect irreplaceable Native American cultural sites, habitat for wildlife and open space that provides an unspoiled wilderness experience. These lands belong to all, not just a few. How ironic that when the West was settled, these were the lands that no one wanted. @thephotosociety @ナショナルジオグラフィック #wilderness #grandstaircase #utah #nationalmonument
