Sign Now: Protect the Great Bend of the Gila

The Great Bend of the Gila’s dramatic views of the flowing Gila River, jagged mountain peaks, and ancient geoglyphs make this iconic landscape in southwestern Arizona an irreplaceable treasure.

Protecting the Great Bend of the Gila as a national monument will protect more than 80,000 acres of land sacred to multiple Arizona tribes and guarantee the ancient rock art and geoglyphs along the river, cliffs, and valley floor are protected from looting and vandalism.

Protect this extraordinary cultural and historic landscape by sending a message to Congress now.

RE: Preserve the Great Bend of the Gila

As a dedicated advocate for the great outdoors and a constituent, I implore you to protect the Great Bend of the Gila as a national monument.

Designating the Great Bend of the Gila will protect over 80,000 acres that hold deep significance to several Arizona-based tribes. The ancient rock art and geoglyphs scattered across the river, cliffs, and valley floor are irreplaceable cultural treasures. Unfortunately, these areas are vulnerable to looting and vandalism. Designating this region as a national monument would ensure its preservation and protection.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
