Congress finds that— Canyonlands National Park safeguards only a small portion of the extraordinary red-hued, cliff-walled canyonland region of the Colorado Plateau; areas near Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park contain canyons with rushing perennial streams, natural arches, bridges, and towers; the gorges of the Green and Colorado Rivers lie on adjacent land managed by the Secretary; popular overlooks in Canyonlands Nations Park and Dead Horse Point State Park have views directly into adjacent areas, including Lockhart Basin and Indian Creek; and designation of those areas as wilderness would ensure the protection of this erosional masterpiece of nature and of the rich pockets of wildlife found within its expanded boundaries.
In accordance with the Wilderness Act ( 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq. ), the following areas in the State are designated as wilderness areas and as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System: Bridger Jack Mesa (approximately 33,000 acres). Butler Wash (approximately 27,000 acres). Dead Horse Cliffs (approximately 5,300 acres). Demon’s Playground (approximately 3,700 acres). Duma Point (approximately 14,000 acres). Gooseneck (approximately 9,000 acres). Hatch Point Canyons/Lockhart Basin (approximately 149,000 acres).
Horsethief Point (approximately 15,000 acres). Indian Creek (approximately 28,000 acres). Labyrinth Canyon (approximately 150,000 acres). San Rafael River (approximately 101,000 acres). Shay Mountain (approximately 14,000 acres). Sweetwater Reef (approximately 69,000 acres). Upper Horseshoe Canyon (approximately 60,000 acres).
