Top Questions Answered

  • What makes the Grand Staircase unique compared to other Utah destinations?

    The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is a vast and remote wilderness with some of the most diverse and ancient landscapes in Utah. Unlike Zion or Bryce Canyon, it offers a quieter, off-the-grid adventure filled with towering cliffs, hidden slot canyons, and prehistoric fossils. It’s a dream destination for those seeking solitude, adventure, and incredible geological wonders.


  • Is this tour suitable for all fitness levels?

    Yes! Our guided tours primarily take you off-road, meaning you can experience the Grand Staircase without intense hiking. However, if you’d like to explore on foot, we can customize stops with short walks to viewpoints, arches, or fossil sites based on your group’s comfort level.


  • What are some highlights of the Grand Staircase tour?

    Some of the most stunning sights include the famous Inchworm Arch, dramatic slot canyons, and panoramic viewpoints that showcase the different layers of the “staircase.” Our guides will also point out fascinating geological formations, dinosaur fossils, and petroglyphs left behind by ancient cultures.


  • Do I need a 4x4 vehicle to visit the Grand Staircase on my own?

    Many areas of the Grand Staircase require a high-clearance 4x4 vehicle, as roads can be sandy, rugged, and impassable after rain. With our guided tours, you don’t have to worry about navigating these challenging roads—we take care of the driving while you focus on the adventure.

  • What should I bring for this tour?

    Comfortable outdoor clothing, closed-toe shoes, and sun protection (hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen) are highly recommended. We provide water and can store any snacks you bring. If you love photography, don’t forget your camera—this landscape is stunning in every direction!

  • Is this tour family-friendly? Can kids participate?

    Absolutely! Families with kids love exploring the Grand Staircase, especially the short hikes, fossil sites, and off-road adventure. The tour can be tailored to suit all ages, ensuring a fun and educational experience for the whole family.

  • When is the best time to visit the Grand Staircase for the best views?

    Early morning and late afternoon provide the best lighting for photography, with soft golden hues highlighting the dramatic rock formations. The cooler temperatures during these times also make for a more comfortable adventure.
