The Utah GOP, which has consistently fought against the creation of national parks in Utah and has sought to shrink them, now has some allies in the White House and the Interior Department.

I thought Trump was shrinking them?!

By executive order, Trump shrunk the two Utah properties, Bears Ears by 85% and Grand Staircase by 46%. Interior Department documents recently obtained by the New York Times show that the primary motivation for shrinking these national monuments was the potential for extracting coal and oil. (Oil and coal drove Trump’s call to Shrink Bears Ears and Grand Staircase)

I agree! Trump is doing so much damage. A revenge presidency is never good for the country. I hope a porn star brings him down.

I like the premise of your blog. Wonderful photos. The Utah parks and monuments are near and dear to me (literally and figuratively). I belong to the local Indivisible group and co-chair the Public Lands committee. We are actively advocating for Bears Ears and GSE, as well as preservation of the Antiquities Act. Keep on showing people how wonderful these places are!
