Project Goals â¿¿ The NPS at the Southeast Utah Group (SEUG) has identified the need to identify and evaluate the historical significance of existing transportation infrastructure for roads and trails at four units of the national park system (Arches National Park, Canyonlands National

The recipient will work collaboratively with the NPS to prepare documentation in sufficient detail to development a narrative historic context for the specified property types.
