New map shows Zion, Bryce, part of Grand Staircase

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the government has released a "new geologic map covering parts of Kane and Washington counties in Utah and Coconino and Mohave counties in Arizona, covering 1,900 square miles."

The map shows Zion and Bryce Canyon nations parks and part of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

The Trip says, "It represents the most recent compilation of the geology for this area and uses new mapping in many places."

It covers some of my favorite areas and so I'm anxious to see it. It will be available at the Department of Natural Resources bookstore, 1594 W. North Temple, Salt Lake City, and probably from other retails, including some on-line sources.

I'll be up at that building tomorrow, helping Blue Ribbon Fisheries plan a new information website, so I'll see if they have any in stock yet.

The Trib also has this interesting new article: Flaming Gorge: Beauty and variety
