The All Pueblo Council of Governors, the collectiv The All Pueblo Council of Governors, the collective voice of the 20 Pueblo Nations of New Mexico and Texas, voted on December 4, 2025, to support America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act (ARRWA). The Council’s resolution endorses congressional wilderness designation for lands within the Act, which would protect more than 8 million acres of federal public lands in Utah. This is the fifth tribal endorsement of ARRWA, following endorsements by the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe (2025), Zuni Tribe (2024), Hopi Tribe (2023), and Navajo Nation (2021).

Yesterday, SUWA filed a lawsuit and moved for an e Yesterday, SUWA filed a lawsuit and moved for an emergency injunction in federal district court, alleging that Garfield County, Utah violated federal law when it began making unauthorized “improvements” to the Hole-in-the-Rock Road. 

The Road runs from the junction of Highway 12, east of the town of Escalante, to the top of the cliffs above the Colorado River within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Surrounded by wilderness-quality lands, 57 of the road’s 62 miles are within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and 16 miles of the road are in Garfield County. It is an unpaved, primarily dirt road and core to the remote experience that defines the 1.9-million-acre National Monument. 

Garfield County is no stranger to ignoring federal laws. The county is currently conducting and plans to continue conducting unauthorized road improvements on the Hole-in-the-Rock Road including realigning and widening the road and chip sealing (effectively paving) a 10-mile stretch of the road.
