"The Geologic Story of Canyonlands National Park" by Stanley William Lohman is a scientific publication likely written in the late 20th century. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the geological history, features, and formation of Canyonlands National Park in Utah, emphasizing the interactions between natural forces and the evolution of the landscape over time. At the start of the publication, the author discusses the establishment of Canyonlands National Park in 1964,
highlighting the various historical attempts to recognize the area as a national park. Lohman reflects on the park's geographical significance, particularly the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, and introduces major geological features such as Island in the Sky and The Needles.
