ONE-TRICK PONY

The story of a canyoneer, public lands, and a totally absurd New Year's tradition in Bears Ears National Monument.

The story of a canyoneer, public lands and a totally absurd New Year’s tradition in Bears Ears National Monument.

For the last fifteen years, Steve Ramras and friends have celebrated New Year’s Day in the icy slot canyons of Bears Ears National Monument. On December 4th 2017 President Trump rescinded the National Monument protection for nearly one million acres, including all of White Canyon and its tributaries. Through that lens, Ram looks back on fifteen years of tradition, and why shared experiences are the key to protecting these places for future generations.
