Understand
From the 1880s to 1975, local ranchers used much of Canyonlands for winter pasture, constructing trails to move their stock across the rugged terrain. In the 1950s the growth of America's nuclear arms program created a high demand for uranium. To encourage prospectors, the Atomic Energy Commission offered monetary incentives and built almost 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of road in southeast Utah. In Canyonlands, these roads include the popular White Rim Road at the Island in the Sky.
