They called it generic. That’s the word Trump’s July proclamation uses for the canyons, cliffs, and mesas he cut from Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante. Every quote in this video comes straight from that document. Video made possible with support from @patagonia The proclamation says the rock art here is “not unique.” It says the ancient homes tucked into these cliffs are “not of particular historic or scientific interest.” Then, in the same document, grazing land gets called a “traditional cultural place.” A petroglyph carved by someone’s ancestors is a “relatively common object.” A cow pasture is culture. About 90 percent of both monuments is now gone. That’s nearly 3 million acres. On September 11, those lands opened to mining claims. The proclamation even lists the minerals it wants, from uranium to vanadium to zirconium. The Hopi, Navajo, Ute Mountain Ute, Ute Indian Tribe, and Zuni worked for years to protect this place. Their Bears Ears Commission was “disbanded and terminated” in one sentence. These lands are like a library of human history. This place is not generic. It never was. We demand a full restoration of our national monuments. Share this to keep the momentum going

One of the highlights of my summer was doing Mount Emmons in a day. Utah’s fourth highest peak, 22.88 miles (36.8 km), 6,788 feet (2,069 m) of gain, and about 70% of it off trail. I’ve climbed big mountains all over the world, and I’ll never get tired of Utah. There’s always a new adventure here. We saw a porcupine, tons of birds, almost got attacked by a beaver crossing the river at night and saw mtn goats near the summit. We started at 3:28 AM, chased the rain across the Uintas, and found the creek running like a river with no bridges to cross it. A full day moving from tree line to alpine tundra endless talus with Rob, and every step was worth it. We didn’t see a single other person the entire day. The full video is on my YouTube, link in bio!

Trump stood in the Oval Office and said you can virtually not even walk at Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments. Well, @rob.lea, @lennecefer, @littl.rain and I spent the day walking all over it. We hiked through the places that got cut out of Utah’s National Monuments. He signed the order in July and shrank both monuments by more than 90 percent. On September 11, those lands officially opened to new mining claims. That’s about 2.9 million acres of our public land now up for grabs for mining and drilling. No president has ever taken this much protected land away from the American people. Some mining companies couldn’t even wait. They filed claims the day after he signed the order, almost two months early. The part that hurts most is what happened to tribal leadership. The Hopi, Navajo, Zuni, Ute and Ute Mountain Ute tribes came together as the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition. For the first time, the government treated them as the original caretakers of this land and gave them a real say. This order wiped that away with one pen. These are their grandparents’ homes and burial grounds. It feels like the same old story of taking land from Native people, just told again in 2026. I’m still hopeful though. Most people in Utah want these monuments put back, Republicans and Democrats alike. Tribes and conservation groups are fighting it in court. And every time we show up on this land, we prove it’s worth saving. If you’ve ever hiked, hunted, camped or floated a river out here, this is your land too. Call your members of Congress and tell them to restore Bears Ears and Grand Staircase. #ProtectBearsEars #GrandStaircase #PublicLands #KeepItPublic #trumpsshrinkage

Share to help this get maximum reach! Paid partnership. Travel and production support from Patagonia. #Ad ⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY AND SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION. DO NOT SCROLL. YOU HAVE ALREADY SCROLLED. MONUMENTRA-T™ (expansium antiquitatis). NOW AVAILABLE UNCUT. Patagonia provided travel and production support. Patagonia did not produce, write, edit, approve, or emotionally prepare for this video. Patagonia does not endorse its contents. Patagonia will find out about this when you do. Patagonia paid for the gas. Do not email them. EMAIL US. Both of us. We read every one. INDICATIONS: For Chronic Boundary Shrinkage in adults and in landscapes 250 million years and older. DO NOT TAKE MONUMENTRA-T IF YOU: are taking nitrates, campaign contributions, or a ten percent royalty • have described a canyon you’ve never visited as “locked up” • required 1.1 million acres to be removed in order to feel like enough. Sir. SIDE EFFECTS may include cryptobiotic soil that stays where you put it, bighorn in unmanageable numbers, kivas that are simply still there, and the profoundly unfamiliar sensation of finishing something and walking away. In rare cases: awe. IF PROTECTION LASTS LONGER THAN FOUR YEARS, DO NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. That is stewardship. Call your grandkids. DOSAGE: One share. SHARING IS THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT. Send it to your uncle. Especially your uncle. Monumentra-T is not a real pharmaceutical. The Antiquities Act of 1906 is real. Views are those of @lennecefer and @carolinegleich and reflect no position of Patagonia or its legal department, who are all finding out about this simultaneously.

Rob Lea could see the coast of Hokkaido. He thought he was less than two hours from finishing one of the biggest endurance projects in history. Then the current turned. What should have been a short finish became another 6½ hours of swimming.

17 años. Eso le tomó a @rob.lea completar el Double Seven: escalar las 7 cumbres más altas de cada continente y nadar los 7 canales de aguas abiertas más icónicos del planeta 🗻🌊. Lo empezó sin saber que terminaría ahí. "Solo estaba escalando montañas y buscando aventura", nos contó. Rob también nos platicó sobre las lesiones, el miedo, la Antártida, y lo que de verdad se lleva uno después de tantos años persiguiendo un objetivo (su historial incluye 19 huesos rotos). Le preguntamos qué encontró al final del camino. Su respuesta no tuvo nada que ver con récords: fue sobre la gente que conoció y los lugares que solo pudo ver gracias a este reto. ¿Su siguiente meta? Seguir apoyando los sueños atléticos de su esposa, @carolinegleich.
