The most famous tale of this gigantic skeletal monster takes us back around a thousand years to an unsettling event led by Taira no Masakado.

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK
CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK — On Saturday, a significant portion of Utah was afforded a clear view of the "ring of fire" eclipse. Given that the next occurrence of such an eclipse in Utah is not expected until 2045, this event managed to attract crowds to various locations throughout central and southern Utah, including several of Utah's National Parks, which were situated directly in the eclipse's path. Prior to sunrise near the Needles Visitors Center, families such as the Hopkinses embarked on an early start, aiming to avoid the influx of people on the eastern end of Canyonlands National Park. Although it may have been earlier than necessary, it is always prudent to prioritize safety. The number of individuals present here was moderate, amounting to several dozen, but sufficient to cause congestion at the entrance. Nevertheless, for individuals like Jessie and Mark Hopkins and their children, the experience is deemed highly worthwhile. "We desired to be present at a location that would afford us an unobstructed view of the precise alignment," expressed Jessie Hopkins.
