McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area, Nature reserve in Fruita, United States.
McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area contains steep canyons, high desert plateaus, and mesas across 123,739 acres of Bureau of Land Management administered land.
Originally named Colorado Canyons National Conservation Area, this protected land was established in 2000 and renamed in 2005 to honor Representative Scott McInnis.
Ancient petroglyphs and pictographs scattered throughout the conservation area provide evidence of Native American settlements that existed in this region centuries ago.
