Glen Canyon National Recreation Area for hundreds of miles, from Lees Ferry in Arizona to the Orange Cliffs of southern Utah, encompassing scenic vistas, geologic wonders, and a vast panorama of human history. As part of the Year 4 stabilization activities in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GLCA), preservation monitoring was conducted at 17 sites. The purpose of the monitoring inspections was (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of the stabilization repairs performed at each site, and (2) to document the types and rate of deterioration, and (3) to justify the need for patrols, cyclic maintenance, public education, and other preservation measures. Chapter 2 of this report presents site-specific observations. Only I areas of deterioration are discussed; structures or other site areas not mentioned remain in good condition. Chapter 3 presents a summary discussion, which includes general observations regarding site deterioration at GLCA, a discussion of different approaches to ruins stabilization, and recommendations for future preservation work at GLCA.
