Lost Canyon Cowboy Camp

The Lost Canyon Cowboy Camp was a line camp operated by the Scorup-Sommerville Cattle Company in what would become Canyonlands National Park, Utah. There is a little built structure; the site is significant for its in situ artifacts and graffiti, located beneath a rock overhang. The shelter was used from 1919 through the late 1960s when the park was established.
