About Grand Staircase-Escalante
Grand Staircase-Escalante takes its name from the dramatic sequence of cliffs and plateaus that step upward across the landscape north of the Arizona-Utah border, each layer of the "staircase" exposing a different chapter of the Colorado Plateau's rock record. The region remains one of the most remote and undeveloped landscapes in the Southwest, encompassing deep canyons, slot canyons, and a genuinely vast expanse of sandstone wilderness connected to the wider Lake Powell and Glen Canyon region.
