Citizens Against Moab Under Canvas at Looking Glass Rock

The purchase of SITLA land by Looking Glass Arch by Moab Under Canvas will commercialize a wild space that was enjoyed without inhibition by locals and visitors to the area.

Moab Under Canvas—I have worked with you for years now. I am just one person, but I will never recommend people stay here if you make this resort. And I have always been a supporter of Under Canvas. The land you want to turn into your resort is not only sacred and historical, it belongs to all of the people. Just because it has not been named a national or state park really doesn’t make it right. It is a place of silence and solitude; if you go forward, that will be forever ruined and gone. I wish your company had been more forthcoming with this plan to talk with the town of Moab about this. And even people who don’t live here but love this place. The only people rooting for your project are people who know nothing of this place.

Ugh! Please no more developments!

This is a tragedy! Makes me so sad for the future of Moab and surrounding area

Profit above nature? NO!! Develop somewhere already impacted, not here.

Please do not develop this area

Stop the madness please. We are over run and inundated. We desperately need to help our local people/workforce to find/aquire affordable housing. Desperately.

Dont let a moab gem become spoiled from greed. There are better ways to fund schools.

Save looking glass!

No more bad development in Moab! What is the true cost of losing our public lands to private entities? Where will the water come from? NO MORE.

People over profits. Land over tourism.

It is absurd the amount of over development of Moab & it’s surrounding areas! Where is the needed development for the locals that live here!

The area needs more sustainable development for local populations. There needs to be greater conservation efforts for land, floral and fauna protection. Tourist lodging and attractions should be the last thing on the community’s agenda right now.

Maybe SITLA could trade out this land for something closer to already developed areas. Would be a shame to have this out here.

Leave it be!

Please DO NOT DO THIS!!! That land is so beautiful because of how open it is! Development will ruin the area!!!

How this is Acceptable is beyond me. Life long local born and raised here. We own a business here and have raised 2 children here. Over development needs to stop ESPECIALLY if it Will not benefit locals. Stop selling out to tourists. If you want to do something to help our community start building affordable housing. Start actually putting money towards our children’s education. ENOUGH WITH THE MADNESS!

Will it never end, I just discovered this little diamond, please let it stay somewhat hidden. Enough exploitation already.....

I strongly encourage everyone here to directly reach out to Bryan at Sitla (435) 259-7417 and email Under Canvas at [email protected] and share your opinion on the matter. Let's make our voices heard!

Please reconsider exploiting the natural beauty of this arch and its surrounding land.
