Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument

Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument is an amazing place.  Acres and acres of petrified sand dunes as far as the eye can see.  We only touched the surface of this fantastic wonderland and I can't wait to go back.  This trip we explored Calf Creek.  One day we hiked the Lower Calf Creek Trail from the campground to the fantastic lower falls.  The next day we did the Upper Calf Creek Trail from Highway 12 to the upper falls.  Both hikes were spectacular and offered an amazing variety of terrain.  It takes some time to get to Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument, but the sites and scenery is well worth the effort.
