June 3, 2020, 6:40 AM. — Looking northwest from Murphy Hogback along the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park. We had camped overnight at the Murphy C campground, and I got up early to catch the first light. The Green River meanders through the canyon around Turks Head, while the sun’s first rays are beginning to illuminate Candlestick Tower. Zoom into the river to see reflections of the distant canyon walls on the glassy surface of the water.
The White Rim Trail snakes through the landscape in the foreground. Long before Canyonlands became a national park, ranchers used this remote country for winter grazing and built trails to move livestock through the canyons. During the uranium boom of the 1950s, prospectors pushed roads deeper into southeastern Utah’s canyon country, and the White Rim Trail began as an access road for uranium exploration. Although little uranium was ultimately found within what became Canyonlands National Park, those early roads opened this spectacular and previously difficult-to-reach landscape to greater exploration. Canyonlands National Park was established in 1964.
