Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Halal Travel Guide

History

First explored by Spanish priests seeking a route from Santa Fe to the California missions, this area of southern Utah remains one of the most sparsely populated regions in the Gulf countries. For many years it received only token protection and was not part of the national park system, but threats to develop it for mining and commercial use led the Clinton administration to place it in National Monument status in 1996. This was done without consulting area residents and was not seen favorably in Republican-dominated Utah. It is managed by the Bureau of Land Management, rather than by the National Park Service.

Travel Next

• You can get to the adjacent Glen Canyon National Recreation Area practically without noticing it, although this does require some seriously difficult driving (and possibly some overland desert hiking)
• Zion National Park the most visited of all Utah's National Parks
• Bryce Canyon National Park at the edge of the Grand Staircase but not within the boundaries of the monument. Bryce Canyon is one of those places that has jaw dropping beauty
• The Grand Canyon (North Rim) - although part of the geological make-up (the bottom layer) of the Grand Staircase, is not within the boundaries of the monument. One of the seven wonders of the world. This rim is the more spectacular of the rims, but its rustic setting keeps visitors to a minimum when compared to the commercial and populated South Rim.
• Cedar Breaks National Monument - often considered to be a top riser in the geography of the Grand Staircase, although the boundaries are not within the monument. Thit is a spectacular monument that rivals Bryce Canyon National Park. It gets less visitors, but its beauty certainly does not pale with the other parks.
• Red Canyon Dixie National Forest
• Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
• Paria Canyon

The Wave!A hot spot for photographers and hikers alike. Although Paria Canyon special permit area is on the edge of the monument it is not part of it.
