| Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument spans nearly 1.9 million acres of America?s public lands. It's vast and austere landscape embraces some spectacular scenery. It is a high, rugged, and remote region, where bold plateaus and multi-hued cliffs run for long distances. It was the last place in the continental United States to be mapped.
Capitol Reef National Park was established to protect a grand and colorful geologic feature called the Waterpocket Fold. It is a 100-mile long wrinkle in the earth's crust known as a monocline, that extends from nearby Thousand Lakes Mountain to the Colorado River (now Lake Powell). |
