Make the Most of Your Escalante Stay

Gateway to the Grand Staircase

Escalante functions as the essential staging ground for exploring nearly 1.9 million acres of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, where slot canyons, petrified forests, and pioneer history converge in southern Utah's high desert. The town maintains an authentic frontier character, with over 50 red brick structures built by Mormon settlers in the 1870s still standing along quiet residential streets. Modern landscape-integrated lodges provide upscale accommodations without compromising the region's stark beauty, while Main Street's outfitters cater to visitors preparing for backcountry adventures.

World-class slot canyon access

The surrounding terrain offers some of the American West's most dramatic geology, accessible via unpaved roads leading to formations like Peek-a-Boo and Spooky Gulch—slot canyons so narrow you'll navigate passages just 10 inches wide. Scenic Byway 12, an All-American Road, passes through town and connects you to Lower Calf Creek Falls, where a 126-foot waterfall creates a desert oasis with ancient rock art. The Hole-in-the-Rock Road provides access to Devil's Garden's sandstone hoodoos and the historic 1879 pioneer route.

Planning your visit

A high-clearance rental vehicle is essential—there's no public transit and many attractions require navigating gravel roads. Most travelers fly into Salt Lake City or Las Vegas and drive 4 to 5 hours. Main Street dining includes North Creek Grill's locally raised beef, while nearby Boulder's Hell's Backbone Grill offers James Beard-nominated cuisine. Visit between March and October when seasonal establishments operate fully.
