Everything the light touches is your kingdom 🌟✨ . More of this 👆🏼on this weekend’s menu, including Eldorado Canyon & the South Platte (Denver area). . But this particular shot is Amanda rapping off Incredible Hand Crack, possibly the most-climbed route in Indian Creek. It’s mostly #2s but of course the most strenuous section (the overhanging part) is #3s which aren’t quite as secure for me. . Long story short, I onsighted but had to work for it 💪🏼 🧗🏻‍♂️ . What adventures are y’all headed for this weekend? . #thevanproject #climbing_photos_of_instagram #climbinglife #climbinggirl #sandstone #indiancreek #bearsears #exploreutah #utahisrad #goatworthy (at Indian Creek)

#Repost @greggdeal ・・・ It’s nice that @patagonia is trying to hit this issue, but the Indigenous communities affected by this move most MUST be heard. Not one tribal government who has significant stakes in this have been talked to or included in this effort. 5 tribal governments have had their tribal sovereignty cast aside making this the second major move Trump has made against Indigenous people in this move that is less unprecedented and more falling in line with the American tradition of disregarding this land’s first people. The space proposed for industrialization is filled with over 100,000 sacred sites, ceremonial grounds and burials of old ones. This is Indian Land. This is the land our Creator has covenanted to us. We are the stewards of this land, and we will fight to protect it always. (design concept by @alexismunoadyer and @kaytebrown!

President Trump, don't decimate the Bears Ears National Monument | Sally Jewell

On Monday, we are expected to see the largest rollback of protections for public lands and waters in US history. This would be a grave mistake

"Mr Trump, some promises are worth keeping. Some places should remain forever.

President Trump’s action will amount to the largest rollback of protections for public lands and waters in US history. It will ignore the 2.8 million Americans who have spoken out in defense of these public lands, and will undercut the jobs and revenues they bring to local economies from outdoor recreation and tourism. More fundamentally, it will break the promise to these tribes – and to the American people – that, once established, national monuments are protected in perpetuity.

As secretary of the interior, I understood that my job was about listening. That’s why Bears Ears national monument is the first monument ever created through tribal advocacy, and the first monument that directly engaged tribes with management. That’s why the national monument honors valid, existing rights, such as grazing and traditional tribal uses. And that’s why the monument’s boundaries closely hew to those drawn by the congressional delegation when they wrote legislation to protect the region."
