Escalante itself is proud to serve as the heart of the new Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument. It serves as an excellent base for your explorations of the area's spectacular scenery and fascinating history. Information centers one operated by the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Dixie National Forest Service, on the western edge of town, and one operated locally in the heart of town are must stops for most visitors. Awe inspiring sunrises and sunsets over the mouth of Escalante Canyon come with the territory. |
