Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke came to southeastern Utah Monday, marking day two of his four-day "listening tour" of the Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase National Monument.

But before Zinke came to Utah, he had a face-to-face meeting with San Juan County commissioner Bruce Adams in Washington DC. KSJD's Austin Cope talked with Adams to learn more about what came out of that meeting.
