Get Outside

Hiking, camping, scenic views and beyond - that's what Escalante is known for. There is something for every group, stop by the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center for information or ask Tabitha and Adrian for personalized recommendations.

Outdoors

*Devil's Garden - 30 minute drive on dirt road, walk as much as like around desert hoodoos, arches, and other rock formations.

*Lower Calf Creek Falls - 6 mile hike round trip to 214 foot waterfall that flows year round.

*100 Hands Panel & Escalante River - walk less than 1 mile to see pictographs and petroglyphs. Explore the Escalante River up or down, just be ready to get your feet wet!

Star Viewing

Escalante is famous as a Class 1 star viewing area, meaning there's minimum light pollution and atmospheric interference. November is peak Milky Way season. Stay up until dark or set a late night alarm to check out the most amazing stars of your life.
