Birds of prey, such as bald and golden eagles, rough-legged and red tail hawks, inhabit the high canyon walls and tall cottonwood trees. Desolation has a rich human history. In fact, it is an official National Historic Landmark, a designation that offers prestige, but no protection. The first whiteman to float the canyon was John Wesley Powell in 1869. "The canyon is torturous, the river very rapid," he wrote. "We are minded to call this . the Canyon of Desolation." Eventually the canyon became inhabited by a few hardy homesteaders. Florence Creek and Rock Creek have some of the best preserved ruins of these early farming attempts. Today, the canyon is best known for its wild Whitewater and impressive wilderness values. While the Bureau of Land Management has initiated a policy of interim protection, permanent protection of Desolation remains years away. The best hope of protection lies with the Peasant Japanese ummu ifi , ( U'M?i KichOlivirT Amidst its Mexican, French, Fren-ch, Italian and ail-American cuisine, Park City now boasts a Japanese restaurant located at 628 Main Street. The Japanese Peasant is owned, organized and managed by Eurasian chef Rich Olivier of Salt Lake City. Olivier, who has lived in Japan off and on his entire life, brings to Park City Japanese favorites including chicken teriyaki, sweet and sour pork and tempura from world famous batter. "A new highlight for Park City's coming summer season will be tempura fruit and dessert specialties," said Olivier. The menu also includes soup, salad and appetizers. Rice, tempura vegetables and fruit cup are included with all dinners. Prices range from $3.95 to $6.95 and a take-out service offers dishes ranging from $2.95 to $4.95. "We can serve 30 in the dining area in 12 minutes," noted the chef "and from the take-out window win-dow we can serve over 40 in 15 minutes." The Japanese Peasant patio will feature a Kabuki theatre with full costumes during the summer months as well as samurai and martial mar-tial arts demonstrations. It also will host a celebration of the Obon, or spring cherry blossom festival, at the end of May. Restaurant hours are from 5-10 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday and from 5-9 p.m. on Sundays. Sun-days. Closed on Mondays. National Wild and Scenic River System. Desolation appears to qualify in every way for protection under this designation. The state, particularly Governor Matheson, is opposed op-posed to even a study of the canyon for possible protection protec-tion as a wild or scenic river. The governor says the state needs more time to evaluate the merits of a study for this canyon and other Utah rivers. The Western River Guides Association, the largest organization of professional river guides, feels that the evaluation of the "merits'' of protecting the river should involve the general public, as well as the state government. govern-ment. A wild river study involves this type of public involvement. The state, for some reason, has preferred to keep the public out of the decision-making process. There are a number of proposed developments that threaten Desolation's wilderness values. The Bureau of Land Management is under pressure to lease a small portion of the canyon for coal development. The Bureau of Reclamation would like to build a number of hydroelectric hydro-electric pumped-storage facilities near the river. While these reservoirs would not affect the main stream of the Green River, they could significantly impact the wildlife resource.
