OUR NAME

Deuteronomy 32, also known as the Song of Moses, provided the inspiration for the name Honey Rock Landing. This song is to be a reminder of God’s faithfulness, even in desert lands.

The desert lands of Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area are in many places barren, hostile and wind-swept. However, along the Gunnison River, the alluvial soils are quite fertile, producing some of the sweetest fruit in the entire State of Colorado. In other words, “honey from the rock.”

Biblical symbology also presents Jesus Christ as the Rock, producing the sweet honey of salvation. In this way, the Song of Moses reminds us that not only will God care for our basic needs, providing fruit of the fields, but also spare nothing–including His only Son–to provide the very best of life, peace, and freedom.
