Congress finds that— the Book Cliffs and Uinta Basin wilderness areas offer— unique big game hunting opportunities in verdant high-plateau forests; the opportunity for float trips of several days duration down the Green River in Desolation Canyon; and the opportunity for calm water canoe weekends on the White River; the long rampart of the Book Cliffs bounds the area on the south, while seldom-visited uplands, dissected by the rivers and streams, slope away to the north into the Uinta Basin; bears, Bighorn sheep, cougars, elk, and mule deer flourish in the back country of the Book Cliffs; and the Book Cliffs and Uinta Basin areas should be protected and managed to ensure the protection of the areas as wilderness.
