Visiting a rural place like the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument should take some time and research. It is very remote and can be a dangerous place if care is not taken to make proper plans and arrangements. A trip to GSENM can be several days or even more. People like to explore this area by hiking, ATV, OHV, horseback, jeep, climbing and canyoneering is popular as well, in this wilderness back to nature desert area. There is a lot to see in and around this area of Southern Utah. If a longer adventure in in mind, here are more places to visit close by:

The Grand Canyon

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument

Bryce Canyon National Park

Capitol Reef National Park

The Glen Canyon and Lake Powell

Rainbow Bridge National Monument

These are some remote areas and depending on exactly where you wish to explore, it is sometimes difficult to locate all the accommodations, activities, guides and rentals that you may require.

We are unique since in the past two years we have posts about all the National Parks, State Parks, National Monuments and Wilderness Areas in one place, and the new feature
will allow adventure travelers to plan out all their places to stay and fun things to do all in one action! No more clicking and searching all around. All selected travel partners with available inventory in our system get notified of the reservations request.

Bob Therrien, President of TrainingPASS Sales, Inc., creator of AdventureZoneTOURS.com, outdoor writer, and constant traveler commented,
“Over the years, the hardest part for me has been the research about which parks, hikes, climbs, guides I want to visit with my family and friends. Exploring site after site, then mapping the distance from each area of interest is inefficient and many times lacking in information. To solve that inefficiency we (AdventureZoneTOURS.com) have collected all the basic information about our parks, wilderness areas and national monuments into one website. Because of the content rich nature of our website the internet search engines really seem to like us. Now we’d like to be able to offer the rural small business owners and our internet users an opportunity to make the back country adventure easier.”
