Hackberry Canyon in the southwestern section of the 1.9- million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah remains so enchantingly unspoiled it’s easy to forget you’re in the 21st century.

If you go right now, there are also wildflowers.

Two of my favorite sites in that area are the White River Narrows Archaeological District and the Mount Irish Rock Art and Archaeological District, both located off State Route 318, north of Alamo and Hiko.

Anyone who has been around the Boulder City political world for any stretch of time already knows that Mayor Joe Hardy is a pretty humble guy and not one to toot his own horn.
