Take a Look at the Swirling Rock Formation That Only 20 People Get to See Each Day

The Coyote Buttes in Arizona is one of the most exclusive parks in the country — only 20 permits are given by the government for visitors each day.
The Arizona Bureau of Land Management states the limited number of park goers is to ensure protection of the geologic formations that span the 112,500 acres of land. Business Insider reports that 10 of the permits are issued through an online lottery four months in advance and 10 are given out onsite that day. Zion National Park’s website states that it may seem “harsh” to institute such restrictions, “if more were to visit, the pristine, remote experience would be lost.”
Some are willing to put in the time to obtain one of these permits to see what the BLM describes as “stunning, colorful, swirling masses of stone.” Business Insider recently had a visitor share stunning images from their their 2010 visit to the Coyote Buttes. Here are just a few from Al Laurente who told Business Insider the trip was to “the most beautiful and spectacular place on earth.”

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 3:25pmThis is deformed or metamorphosed sandstone. The rock is quite durable. If it was burried and full of oil, Obama wouldn’t let us drill in it either. Yes the rock is beautiful. It was deposited horizontally and then likely reshaped by tectonic uplift. Our beautiful country is also being reshaped by the communist uplift of Obama and company. I truly hope that the USA will still be beautiful after all of the contortions of this presidency. Let us hope that America proves as durable.

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 3:25pmWhat a misinformed reporter. This location, more commonly known as “The Wave” which is the name of a particular section of the formation, is in the Paria Canyon/Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness area managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. It is NOT a park. The reason access is limited and on a lottery basis is because it is an extremely fragile formation of petrified sand dunes. Excessive trampling will erode the formation. Also, the surrounding desert is covered with delicate cyano-bacteria based cryptobiotic crust which prevents erosion and provides soil for desert plants to anchor themselves. Once damaged by footfall it takes decades to re-grow. This is one of the world’s greatest natural wonders and deserves to be protected for future generations. This is not a case of overreach by the federal government. If you don’t believe me read about the damming of the Tuolumne river in the Hetch Hetchy valley of Yosemite or the destruction of one of the largest and most beautiful canyons in the southwest that contain a wealth of Indian rock art and ancient cliff dwellings, Glen Canyon. All this is now under water.

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 7:30pmI was wondering about reporting it to be in Zion National Park (which is in Utah), but reporting this to be in Arizona. I’ve heard about the bacteria that forms the crust of the soil; I’m not convinced yet that it needs federal protection. As for Glen Canyon– I’m grateful for Lake Powell that brings water (life) to the environment of the desert, mitigates floods, provides water for inhabitants of Utah and Arizona, supports the non-native and native animals of the area, and provides electricity in a very clean manner. Natural dams have also created similar lakes in recent geological history. Yes, it isn‘t ’natural’, as in, built by God himself, but neither is the house I live in, nor the farms where my food comes from. I’d support another dam upstream of Lake Powell.

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 8:44pmYou are right, unfortunately everyone, even, and sometimes especially people on the Blaze, who should be the most politically educated, instead make the cardinal mistake of seeing the world through partisan shaped glasses. Just because Liberals are more vocal about their support for the environment does not mean that every environmental policy is a bad one.
Anyway, I doubt much more than 20 people a day apply to visit this place to begin with. Its not like its in the most accessible of locations or like its all that well known outside of certain adventurous circles.

The cryptobiotic crust is all over the place in Southern Utah/Northern Arizona. If you ever been to the Wave you would know there is a trail there… people do not tramp around aimlessly in the desert just to smash and destroy the scenery.

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 3:08pmReally cool. I wonder, though, these formations are made of ROCK, and they have probably been around for millions of years, therefore, how fragile is it really??? A few years ago I went to the Painted Desert, and they said the same thing, that it was so FRAGILE, but they had a boardwalk where people walked, and they told you not to leave the boardwalk. Why can’t they do the same thing here? This way, many more people could see it.

Report Post »NoDoubtTom
Posted on May 7, 2012 at 3:37pmActually, they’re about 5000 years old.
The sediment settled during The Flood, with the cut-outs during the receding of the water after.
Isn’t it wonderful how God left these beautiful traces of history behind for us.
Vandalism is probably the best excuse for limiting access.
People will try to take pieces home with them.
The fragility is relavent to the composition of the rock.
Most sedimentary rock is hard, however sandstone is naturally more fragile, but not so much to fall apart like a pile of sand. Sraping would wear it away, and leave you with the sandy dust.
What a Marvel!

The most fragile parts are ‘fins’ of stone which protrude out and are very thin and wide (which is more rare in sandstone). You could easily break a fin just by touching it.

Science gets things wrong many times; however, it also explains the “How?” part of the question asked by readers of the Bible. Why not consider an “evolution guided by a divine hand” theory?

Report Post »Evolutionist feel the grand canyon was created with a little water over a long period of time, a creationist believes it was made with a lot of water over a small amount of time. The global flood laid down mud and volcanic sediments all over the earth, they sat there for a year, then drained, and drained. Each proccess left it‘s mark scientifically the Grand Canyon is a place it’s easy to see all the layers laid down and hardened, the were ripped new channels and ravines in it as it all drained, or pocket ponds and lakes drained independantly over time making new layered cuts in the fresh sediment layers. Simalar formations are found in other parts of earth when large damns break.
