Garfield County Proposes Renaming Scenic Road After Donald Trump

(Garfield County, UT) — A Garfield County official is proposing a scenic highway be renamed after President-elect Trump. Garfield County Commission Chairman Leland Pollock recently announced his proposal to change the name of the Burr Trail Scenic Byway that winds through the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. The new name would be the “Donald J. Trump Presidential Burr Trail Highway.” Pollock says the renaming would recognize President Trump’s accomplishments in the county, including the 2017 decision to downsize the national monument. The byway was originally named after John Atlantic Burr, a rancher who settled in the region in the 19th Century.
