...shaped the preservation of three great national parks of the American West – Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion – so all who came after would experience their magnificence and relish the moment.
You'll start "climbing" it at:
- the incredible Grand Canyon...
- stay on it through the Painted Desert...
- into Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Lake Powell...
- past the Vermillion, White, Grey and Pink Cliffs...
- on to the pinnacles and hoodoos of Bryce Canyon...
- and right into the cliffs and valleys of Zion National Park.
"It" is the Grand Staircase of the Escalante – a vast, unbroken expanse of colorful sedimentary rock layers that took nature years to create, and envisioned by a 19th-century geologist as a series of gigantic "steps" stretching across the Southwest.
And all these wonders are part of it.
