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 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 National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park have views directly into adjacent areas, including Lockhart Basin and Indian Creek; each of the areas described in subsection
(b)(other than Dead Horse Cliffs, Horsethief Point, Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness Expansion, San Rafael River, Sweetwater Reef, and a portion of Gooseneck) are located within the Bears Ears National Monument, as established in 2016; 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 33,500 acres). Butler Wash (approximately 27,000 acres). Dead Horse Cliffs (approximately 5,250 acres). Demon’s Playground (approximately 3,500 acres). Gooseneck (approximately 9,500 acres). Hatch Point/Lockhart Basin/Harts Point (approximately 150,500 acres). Horsethief Point (approximately 15,500 acres). Indian Creek (approximately 28,500 acres). Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness Expansion (approximately 158,750 acres). San Rafael River (approximately 97,250 acres). Shay Mountain (approximately 15,500 acres).
