Congress finds that— the side canyons of Glen Canyon, including the Dirty Devil River and the Red, White and Blue Canyons, contain some of the most remote and outstanding landscapes in southern Utah; the Dirty Devil River, once the fortress hideout of outlaw Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch, has sculpted a maze of slickrock canyons through an imposing landscape of monoliths and inaccessible mesas; the Red and Blue Canyons contain colorful Chinle/Moenkopi badlands found nowhere else in the region;
Dark Canyon, Fort Knocker, Tuwa Canyon, Upper Red Canyon, White Canyon, and a portion of Red Rock Plateau are located within the Bears Ears National Monument, as established in 2016; and the canyons of Glen Canyon in the State should be protected and managed as wilderness areas.
