Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Guide

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Highlights

  • On a trek through the canyons of the Escalante River and its many tributaries, you'll experience some of the quiet beauty of Glen Canyon, much of which has been lost to the waters of Lake Powell.
  • Lower Calf Creek Falls drops 126 feet into a crystal-clear pool, reached by a very pretty canyon hike of 5.5 miles roundtrip with a slight elevation gain.
  • The monument has very scenic back roads, all of which are open to mountain biking. Note that riding cross-country or on slickrock isn't permitted.
  • Hackberry Canyon offers fine scenery in the west half of the monument on a 20.5-mile hike from the mouth of Hackberry Canyon to the mouth of Round Valley Draw.
