Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument
There as been recent talks among Politicians to shut down two of Utah National Monuments. Unfortunately they're two I've visited the least. I wanted to go down and check them out before any bulldozers had a chance to change the wild.

CRAZY Slot Canyon Adventure - Zebra Slot Canyon - Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument
We went to Utah in search of adventure and certainly found it at the Zebra Slot Canyon in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. It was a tight slot canyon with beautiful rock formations, deep water and not another person in sight! Utah is a great state to get outdoors and have a fun adventure.

Calf Creek Falls | Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument 4K
#grandstaircaseescalante #grandstaircasehikes #calfcreek
The trail to Calf Creek Falls may be the most popular hike in Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It's a stunning trek through stunning desert canyons capped by one of the prettiest waterfalls we've encountered.
Along with Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante may be the most contested swath of public land in the United States.
With recent reductions and the desire of many for a full restoration of the original monument boundaries being hotly debated it's never been more important to Leave No Trace.
The ultimate fate of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is uncertain. With limited resources to protect the land, it is essential for all visitors to do their best to leave this desert wonderland as pristine as possible.
What are your thoughts? Should the reductions stand or should Utah's monuments be restored? Leave a comment below.
Trailhead: Calf Creek Campground parking area
Difficulty: Moderate
Distance: 6 miles
Elevation gain: 520 ft

Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah , The most beautiful monument in The US
Grand Staircase-Escalante
The most beautiful monument in The US
The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is a U.S. National Monument protecting 1,880,461 acres (760,996 ha)[1] of land in southern Utah.
There are three main regions: the Grand Staircase, the Kaiparowits Plateau, and the Canyons of the Escalante - all of which are administered by the Bureau of Land Management as part of the National Landscape Conservation System. President Bill Clinton designated the area as a national monument in 1996 using his authority under the Antiquities Act. Grand Staircase-Escalante encompasses the largest land area of all U.S. National Monuments.

The Monument stretches from the towns of Big Water, Glendale and Kanab, Utah on the southwest, to the towns of Escalante and Boulder on the northeast. Encompassing 1.9 million acres, the Monument is slightly larger in area than the state of Delaware.
The western part of the Monument is dominated by the Paunsaugunt Plateau and the Paria River, and is adjacent to Bryce Canyon National Park. This section shows the geologic progression of the Grand Staircase. Features include the slot canyons of Bull Valley Gorge, Willis Creek, and Lick Wash which are accessed from Skutumpah Road.

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.

Zebra and Tunnel Slot Canyons Escalante, Utah.
Zebra and Tunnel Slot Canyons in Escalante, Utah are unique. The banding in the sandstone in Zebra is not like many other slots. The colors are different and nature's design is one of a kind.
Although the canyon is very short it has a lot to offer to the photographer. A crow has taken up residence and made quite a mess down one wall but we did not find it in the way. Another hiker who was there early in the morning commented on the racket the bird was making.
Since this slot is so short and you return the way back down the canyon it may be a good idea to travel in and out in small groups. In other words take turns so everyone can enjoy and photograph. There is little to no room in this narrow gulch.
Tunnel is not that photogenic. It is just like the name, more of a tunnel with little light. It has a spooky feel to it. There was waste deep water when I was there and it was very cold. The trip is only a few hundred feet long. I found it to be quite fun.
One thing that stands out about this trip is the walk to and from. It is a very pretty hike. Another thing I found interesting was the Moki marbles or balls that litter the wash.

Driving the Burr Trail Road to Notom - Grand Staircase Escalante NM and Capitol Reef NP
In this video I drive from Boulder, UT, along the Scenic Hwy 12, down the Burr Trail Road to the Burr Trail Switchbacks, then down to the Notom-Bullfrog Road, and head north to Notom on the eastern side of Capitol Reef National Park.
Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument is one of the most beautiful places in Utah, but much of it is being threatened by mining and oil rigs, which breaks my heart. Once a place is protected, it should stay protected. I hope you will joing me in protecting this incredible land.

Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument | Utah | Episode 10 | 1080p HD
On December 4th, 2017 the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument had close to 50% of its public land taken away due to the Antiquities Act.
Nearly 100,000 archaeological sites will be lost in this process. I visited Paria back in October, which is in the National Monument and is considered one of the areas lost due to the act. This location is one of the most beautiful scenic spots I have been to in the United States. With rocks colored with, purples, blues, reds and oranges you can't help but feel a sense of ease and wonderment.
Paria was on located on BLM land which is public land that you can camp on or stay on for up to 16 days at a time at no cost. As you drive there you are on rough dirt roads, recommended use is with trucks or off road vehicles. The last mile I had to hike to the river where I shot this video.
I want to give a shout out to my buddy Tom for sharing this location with me as I am grateful for having spent time here. If you wish to check out some great ice climbing, rock climbing and travel content you can check out his link in the description below.
