Recognized as an All-American Road, one of the many draws to those traveling along Utah's Scenic Byway 12 is the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The hiking through the 1.9 million acre national monument is quite remote, so many enjoy the scenery from the scenic overlooks along the drive. You'll be amazed by the narrow slot canyons surrounded by colorful sandstone cliffs.

What a great day driving from Capitol Reef National Park through the Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument. Although we didn't hike through the national monument, the scenery was still beautiful from the overlooks!
