Grand Staircase-Escalante was the first National Monument to be designated in America’s new system of National Conservation Lands administered by the BLM. A vast and austere landscape protecting remarkable frontier resources, GSENM presents exemplary opportunities for science and research in paleontology, archaeology, ecology, history and geology, and is a destination for exquisite scenery and backcountry solitude.
