San Juan County, Utah, contains some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, rich in culture and history. But it's also long been plagued with racism, bitterness, and politics as twisted as the canyons. Award-winning journalist Jonathan P. Thompson explores the redrock canyons and this corner of the western United States, which for five decades has been at the center of the American public lands wars.
