Newly shrunken boundaries due to presidential proclamation in Utah’s Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument remove protections from many areas of the Hayduke Trail and other remote routes, trails and waterways.
There is a map and more information on the BLM website here: eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office/eplanning/planAndProjectSite.do?methodName=dispatchToPatternPage¤tPageId=141293

Another good resource is the Grand Staircase Escalante Partners' website: gsenm.org/192-2
