All of the above and more are what makes the Bureau of Land Managements Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area along the Gunnison River a special place.This area between Delta and Grand Junction--river and canyons rock cliffs and mesa tops wildlife and wilderness--is a colorful display of millions of years of the history of Earth. It is a place of human habitation from the ancient explorers of thousands of years ago to recent pioneers trying to establish a new life. It is a place to float a river ride horseback hike red and white rock canyons ride bicycles motorcycles or four-wheel vehicles. It is a wilderness in which to disappear and discover yourself. It is a place to find the sacred within us all.Join author and Artist-in-Residence of the Dominguez-Escalante NCA Bureau of Land Management Joseph Colwell as he explores different portions of D-ENCA and searches for meaning.
