If you're lucky, you may even be able to locate the fossilized dinosaur footprint along Left Hand Collet Canyon Road.
The park contains everything from low-lying desert plans to higher elevation coniferous forests, and is famous for its dinosaur excavations. Grand Staircase-Escalante's monoliths, slot canyons, arches, and mosaic badlands present a cornucopia of geological wonders for its visitors. The Kaiparowits Plateau is a massive area of uplifted rock within the park that was also one of the last locations to be mapped in the contiguous United States. At nearly 1 million acres, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument embodies the frontier spirit of the West.
