Dogs are our life companions, and sometimes accompany us when we visit these lands. But when visiting Bears Ears, please keep them on dog-approved trails and always pack out their waste.Make sure to carry plenty of doggy bags so you can pack it out, every time.

The San Juan River is cared for thanks to Indigenous Tribes, local guiding companies, non-profit organizations, & the Monticello BLM office. We encourage all visitors to pay their fees, as those funds help support amenities, maintenance, & ranger services across the monument, including the river. 🙌

Did you know summer temperatures can hit over 100 degrees fahrenheit? ☀️ Because of that, it’s best to plan your hikes or outdoor activities in the early morning or evenings when temps are cooler! Always bring plenty of water too.

We are still beaming from our first youth Summer Camp session last week.
This first session was packed, bringing 22 local and Indigenous youth out on the San Juan river for 3 days and 2 nights. After departing from Sand Island, we floated down unusually high and fast water towards Mexican Hat.

But we're talking about cryptobiotic soil — the living crust that holds this desert together! It might not be on the blockchain, but it's priceless.

Sometimes it’s nice to pause & connect with the natural world. No music, no talking - just you & the land. It’s in these quiet moments that we can truly appreciate the beauty around us & the stillness of the moment. #VisitWithRespect on these beautiful ancestral lands.🌎
