SEC. 109. SAN RAFAEL SWELL WILDERNESS AREAS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The San Rafael Swell towers above the 
desert like a castle, ringed by 1,000-foot ramparts of 
Navajo Sandstone. 
(2) The highlands of the San Rafael Swell have 
been fractured by uplift and rendered hollow by ero-
sion over countless millennia, leaving a tremendous 
basin punctuated by mesas, buttes, and canyons and 
traversed by sediment-laden desert streams.
