ملف:Scenic view as clouds pass over Utah's Desolation Canyon Area and Green River.jpg

English: The Desolation Canyon Wilderness Area is a true crown jewel in Utah and all public lands managed by the BLM. It was one of the areas that was expanded due to the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, signed into law on March 12, 2019 by President Trump.

The 84-mile segment of the Green River winds through pristine views of the towering Desolation and Gray Canyons. It is perfect for white water enthusiasts looking to glide through the very same vistas that none other than John Wesley Powell and his crew traversed 150 years ago. The Wilderness area has an extensive system of deep canyons and soaring walls including Rock Creek that is more than 1 mile deep. Desolation Canyon contains arches, pinnacles, and other erosional remnants not known to occur elsewhere in the Wasatch Formation in similar concentrations or settings.
