Fall Break - Escalante, Utah
This past October, while my kids had their fall break from school, I took the family down for a night of camping and adventuring around Escalante, Utah. Features of the trip included Upper Calf Creek, Devils Garden, dinosaur tracks, Petrified Forest State Park, and Anasazi State Park.

Grand Staircase-Escalante
National Monument
Utah USA
Grand Staircase-Escalante
spans many acres of America's
public lands and contains three
distinct units, Grand Staircase,
Kaiparowits, and Escalante Canyon.
The Monument was the last place
in the continental United States
to be mapped.
From its spectacular Grand Staircase
of cliffs and terraces, across the
rugged Kaiparowits Plateau,
to the wonders of the
Escalante River Canyons,
the Monument is a diverse geologic
treasure speckled with monoliths,
slot canyons, natural bridges, and arches.
The Monument is an outstanding
biological resource, spanning five
life-zones - from low-lying desert
to coniferous forest.
Deep within this vast and austere
landscape, the Anasazi and Fremont
cultures made contact in the
period AD 950-1100, leaving behind
rock art panels, occupation sites,
campsites and granaries.
Stepping further back in time, fossil
excavations have yielded more
information about ecosystem change
at the end of the dinosaur era
than any other place in the world.
The Monument’s size, resources,
and remote character provide
extraordinary opportunities
for geologists, paleontologists,
archeologists, historians, and biologists
in scientific research,
education, and exploration.
This unspoiled natural area remains
a frontier with countless opportunities
for quiet recreation and solitude.
Stop at a Visitor Center in Kanab,
Escalante, Cannonville or Big Water
to learn about paleontology,
archaeology, geology, human history,
and ecology through ranger-led
presentations, interpretive exhibits,
and materials at the book store.
Chat with one of our rangers to
obtain current information on road
and weather conditions, maps,
and permits, which are
required for all overnight use.
A free overnight permit is required for
dispersed camping outside
of developed campgrounds.
To protect soil crust, vegetation,
and other resources, please park and
camp in already disturbed areas.
No dispersed camping is allowed
in the front-country zone.
Please pack out all waste and
use portable human waste bags.
Backcountry camping is one of
the many ways people enjoy the
dark skies and natural quiet of the backcountry.
Thank you for limiting noise and use
of artificial lights in order to
protect the experience of other visitors.

American West Road Trip April + Luke ep. 6
Road Trip over Labor Day weekend 2018 to Zion National Park (The Narrows), Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument (Peek-A-Boo Gulch and Devil's Garden, Escalante Petrified Forest State Park), Bryce Canyon National Park (Navajo and Queen's Garden Trails), Grand Canyon National Park (North Rim - Bright Angel Point, Cape Royal, Point Imperial), Valley of Fire State Park (Fire Wave).
As we drove deeper into Bryce Canyon, the summer rain turned into September snow. Prairie dogs turned to mule deer and pronghorns. The white snow graced the pink and yellow sandstone columns like a veil concealing a blushing bride. Quaking Aspen and Douglas Fir completed the winter scene as Ponderosa Pines faded from view.
It was hard to imagine that just a day ago, we had been wandering in the desert--short on water--trying to find our way from Peek-A-Boo Gulch in the middle of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. And that only one more day after Bryce, we would be overlooking the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, in awe of the endless masterpiece of shadows and colors stretching across the horizon.
Needless to say, this second anniversary trip will stay with us a long time. What a way to spend Labor Day 2018! America has incredible beauty only a short flight and car drive away. What a privilege to see it with my best friend!

Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona
Petrified Forest National Park has the largest collection of fossilized trees in the world. 225 million years ago the trees, Araucarioxylon, Woodworthia, Schilderia, and others, fell into streams and washed into floodplains and mixed with silt, mud, and volcanic ash. Silica-laden groundwater seeped through the logs and replaced the wood tissue with silica. The silica crystallized into quartz, preserving the wood. Remnants of early human occupation of the area dating back to 1250 A.D. are found at Puerco Pueblo. The 100 room pueblo sheltered over 1,000 people. More recently, the Painted Desert Inn, built by Herbert David Lore around 1920, was used as the first overnight lodge in the area. The décor and architecture of the Painted Desert Inn reflects the awesome vistas of the surrounding beauty of the Painted Desert. The nearby trail head will lead you to a unique wilderness camping environment. Music copyright 2007 by Maury Smith. Slideshow by John Wanserski.

Fossil finds at Grand Staircase Escalante
In the rugged canyons of America's last frontier, modern explorers search for signs of ancient history. Covering nearly 2 million acres of southern Utah and Northern Arizona Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument is attracting attention. Recent discoveries here date back 80 million years.
This is a huge 1.9 million acre laboratory, said Melanie Boone of Grand Staircase Escalante Partnership. Everything from paleontology, etymology, biology, historical resources, archeology, it is a huge place with untapped resources all over the place.
Area scientists are finding new information that's making them rethink long held beliefs about pre-historic Earth while providing Denver school children with science education live via satellite.
Petrified Forest Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Patrified Forest.
An extensive, scant desert landscape surrounds the Petrified Forest National Park east of Arizona. In the middle of the desert-like Badlands is one of the U.S.A.'s most remarkable geological treasures, the Petrified Forest. Two million years ago this region was a swampland inhabited by various species of dinosaur. The Forest covers an area of approximately three hundred and seventy-eight square kilometres and the outstanding petrifactions can be found throughout.Numerous fossilised sections of trees lie scattered across the desert and date back to prehistoric times when the surrounding highlands were covered with dense forest.Powerful torrential rivers carried the broken, dead tree trunks into a vast swampland where they sank deep into the morass and became hermetically sealed while additional layers of sediment built up on the trunks. Thus normal decomposition was halted and the wood retained various minerals.The largest fossilised tree sections that have been discovered in the Petrified Forest indicate that they date back to the time of the dinosaurs and stood up to sixty metres high. Like divine Indian arrows and the bones of a legendary giant the petrified wood is truly like something from another world.
