A unique one-hundred-mile-long, two-hundred-foot-high serrated cliff that cuts the southeastern Utah sky, Comb Ridge shaped, as a barrier or sanctuary, regional life and culture for thousands of years. It stands amidst a scenic complex that included Natural Bridges National Monument and Grand Gulch just to the west, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Canyonlands National Park to the north, Hovenweep National Monument to the east, and Monument Valley to the south.

Comb Ridge and Comb Wash cross an Ancient Puebloan homeland with abundant ruins; they held comparable importance to Utes, Paiutes, and Navajos. Robert S. McPherson, noted for his books on Navajos and the Four Corners region, tells the story of this rock, of the people who have lived, worked, and played in its shadow, and of those who now contest for the future of Comb Ridge and its spectacular setting.
