Another RS-2477 claim from state of Utah, this one involving Canyonlands NP, to be heard in court
Canyonlands National Park - which contains some of the planet's most fantastic desert scenery and, paradoxically, two of the West's mightiest rivers - just celebrated its 48th birthday.
The state of Utah is working to drive a knife into the heart of the park before it reaches 49.
The state and its ally, San Juan County, Utah, contend that Salt Creek, one of the few permanent streams in the park, is a "constructed highway" that the state - not the Park Service - can manage.
