The Speaking Springs Preserve is located in Cottonwood Wash, at the end of 3rd West Street, on the north side of Bluff, Utah. The Preserve was created after The Wildlands Conservatory purchased a corridor of private property in Cottonwood Wash. On the west side of the Preserve, on land that is within Bears Ears National Monument we have identified 9 cliff dwelling type structures and several panels of petroglyphs.
