On Saturday, Montezuma Great Old Broads for Wilderness will host a rally at the Sand Canyon trailhead to support national monuments.<\/p>\n

Montezuma Broadband leader Pat McClenny said the rally is in response to President Donald Trump\u2019s announcement on Monday to shrink the nearby Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in southeast Utah.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe support keeping those monuments at their original sizes, and also want to show appreciation for Canyons of the Ancients National Monument and public lands in general,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In April, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced 27 national monuments, including Canyons of the Ancients, could be reviewed for changes. But in June, he told local lawmakers the 176,000-acre monument was not a priority for adjustments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also making the point that we are supportive of our local monument and would not let something happen to it,\u201d McClenny said. \u201cIt will be a civil and respectful rally, and we invite the public to attend.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rally will begin at 10 a.m. at the Sand Canyon trailhead, on County Road G, 13 miles west of the U.S. 491 intersection.<\/p>\n

Participants are encouraged to bring signs.<\/p>\n

President Bill Clinton created Canyons of the Ancients in 2000. Colorado Republicans Rep Scott Tipton and Sen. Cory Gardner both urged Zinke to leave it alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
