One of the most #spectacular areas managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has to be the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Utah, which spans nearly 1.9 million acres of America’s public lands. From its awe-inspiring Grand Staircase of cliffs and terraces, across the rugged Kaiparowits Plateau, to the wonders of the Escalante River Canyons, the Monument’s size, resources, and remote character provide extraordinary opportunities for geologists, paleontologists, archeologists, historians, and biologists in scientific research, education, and exploration.
