About Grand Staircase-Escalante

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and protects a vast and rugged landscape of canyons, mesas, and cliffs in southern Utah. The monument encompasses three distinct sections: the Grand Staircase, the Kaiparowits Plateau, and the Canyons of the Escalante. It preserves significant paleontological resources, including dinosaur fossils, and provides habitat for diverse wildlife. The area offers exceptional opportunities for hiking, camping, and exploring remote wilderness areas.
