Exploring Utah's Mysterious Dark Canyon Complex.
TL;DR
The Dark Canyon complex in southeastern Utah, part of Bears Ears National Monument, is a rugged and remote landscape shaped by erosion. The canyons have distinctive geology, ecology, and archeology, and are some of the only intact protected canyons in the United States. The Colorado River flows through the area, creating powerful rapids down river. The complex provides habitat for a wide range of wildlife, and contains many cultural and archaeological sites.
