Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is a dramatic, multi-hued landscape that is rich in natural and human history.  Extending across 1.9 million acres of Utah public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the Monument represents a unique combination of archaeological, historical, paleontological, geological, and biological resources.  These strikingly beautiful and scientifically important lands are divided into three distinct regions: the Grand Staircase, the Kaiparowits Plateau, and the Canyons of the Escalante.

The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is located 25 miles from Panguitch, Utah.
