      Range Creek, Utah The Secret Canyon of the ANCIENTS Book Cliffs Hidden Door Music

      Range Creek, Utah
      The Secret Canyon
      Land of the ANCIENTS
      The Book Cliffs
      Hidden Door
      Masonry that has stood for centuries

      Range Creek has been referred to
      as the "Secret Canyon."

      These canyons were the home of the
      Fremont Indian culture
      for over a thousand years.
      The mysteriously disappeared about
      800 years ago, leaving behind
      innumerable clues to their rich history.

      Tucked away in an isolated canyon in
      Eastern Utah, Range Creek Canyon
      was virtually unknown
      to the world for 100 years.

      The canyon is now managed by the
      University of Utah
      Museum of Natural History.

      Most trekking here is done via
      bushwhacking or meandering up some wash.

      For peak-baggers or county high-pointers,
      this area is a nightmare & a challenge.

      Longest continuous escarpment in the world.
      Range Creek Canyon Overview
      Prehistory
      Range Creek has been recognized
      as a national treasure because of the
      high density of virtually undisturbed
      prehistoric sites that have been found.

      Nearly four hundred sites have been identified
      and recorded including granaries,
      rock art panels, ruins and artifact scatters.

      Most of the sites are associated with
      the Fremont archaeological complex,
      a term used to describe Utah's earliest farmers
      who inhabited the region from about
      A.D. 300 - A.D. 1350.

      Based on the results of radiocarbon
      dating it appears that prehistoric
      occupation of the canyon may have
      been particularly intense from
      A.D. 1000 - 1175, a time near
      the end of the Fremont Period.
      The History of Range Creek 1885 - 2001
      In 1884, Deputy U.S. Surveyor,
      Augustus Ferron discovered a small,
      perennial stream in a remote and
      unoccupied canyon on the plateau.

      He called the stream Ranch Creek.

      The following year, Ferron and four partners
      renamed the stream Range Creek
      and formed the Range Valley Cattle Company.

      For 115 years this remote valley along
      Range Creek was devoted to cattle ranching.

      Geography & Geology

      Towering cliffs and steep unstable slopes
      make access to Range Creek difficult.
      The formidable features of the natural
      setting is undoubtedly part of the reason
      that the archaeological record is so
      well preserved but it also presents a
      challenge to researchers trying
      to gain access to the sites.
      Plant Communities
      From the headwaters of Range Creek
      at about 10,000 feet above sea level
      to its confluence with the Green River
      thirty miles and 6000 feet lower,
      Range Creek flows through several easily
      recognizable plant communities.
      Growing in each of these communities
      are edible wild plants that would
      have been part of the prehistoric diet.
      Wildlife
      Range Creek is home to a variety
      of wildlife species, each living in the
      area best suited to their needs.
      Learn more about the large & small mammals,
      reptiles, Bullsnake, amphibians, and
      birds that live in the Canyon.
      Archaeological and Historic Sites
      It is unlawful for any person to intentionally
      alter, remove, injure or destroy
      archaeological and historic sites.
      While in Range Creek Canyon,
      please tread lightly and take only photographs.
      If you witness illegal activity take a stand to
      protect our heritage by reporting
      incidents to the appropriate authorities.

      Национальный парк Зайон | Штат Юта | Путешествие по США | #4

      Вот и настало время попрощаться с Леонидом, его женой Татьяной,и самим Нью Йорком. Огромное спасибо им за массу новых впечатлений,которые зарядили меня энергией перед стартом нового путешествия на велосипеде. Но прежде,чем отправиться в Перу, судьба снова свела меня с моим другом Оливером. Он пригласил меня прогуляться по каньону и полюбоваться красивыми пейзажами Национального парка Зайон в штате Юта,от чего я был не в силах отказаться.
