The monument stretches from the towns of Big Water, Glendale, and Kanab, Utah in the southwest to the towns of Escalante and Boulder in the northeast. The monument is slightly larger in area than the state of Delaware. After a reduction ordered by presidential proclamation in December 2017, the monument encompassed 1,003,863 acres (4,062 km2), but it was restored to 1,870,000 acres (7,568 km2) in 2021.Willis Creek in the Grand Staircase

The western part of the monument is dominated by the Paunsaugunt Plateau and the Paria River, and is adjacent to Bryce Canyon National Park. This section shows the geologic progression of the Grand Staircase. Features include the slot canyons of Bull Valley Gorge, Willis Creek, and Lick Wash which are accessed from Skutumpah Road.

Here is a sample of my camera shots in Utah. I don’t use it much anymore, but it’s a nice tool through which to look at this fabulous desert. I’ve been back in the city a couple days, physically, but mentally I’m still out there, wandering. #gsenm #utah #crnp #grandstaircaseescalante #capitolreef #hwy12 #needlesdistrict #canyonlands #indiancreek #castlevalley #beutahful #southernutah #photography #landscape #desertsouthwest #roadtripusa #roadtrip (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVL1B3uFHB-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, UT (No. 1)

The Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument (GSENM) is a United States national monument protecting the Grand Staircase, the Kaiparowits Plateau, and the Canyons of the Escalante (Escalante River) in southern Utah. It was established in 1996 by President Bill Clinton under the authority of the Antiquities Act with 1.7 million acres of land, later expanded to 1,880,461 acres (7,610 km2). In 2017, the monument's size was reduced by half in a succeeding presidential proclamation, and it was restored in 2021. The land is among the most remote in the country; it was the last to be mapped in the contiguous United States.

The monument is administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as part of the National Conservation Lands system. Grand Staircase–Escalante is the first and largest national monument managed by the BLM. Visitor centers are located in Cannonville, Big Water, Escalante, and Kanab.

Accepting Applications for the 2017 Artist-in-Residence program at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument!

The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah is accepting applications for the May 2017 Photography Artist-in-Residence program. The selected volunteer will use their photography skills to promote awareness of the exceptional natural and cultural treasures preserved and protected by the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). The residency will last three weeks and include at least two public events, participation in Kane County’s Amazing Earthfest!, and promotion of good stewardship practices.

The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument was established in 1996 and became the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) first national monument. At nearly 1.9 million acres, it is the largest area in the National Conservation Lands system, which includes some of the West’s most spectacular landscapes set aside for conservation, protection, and restoration of their nationally significant cultural, ecological, and scientific values. From the spectacular Grand Staircase of cliffs and terraces, across the rugged Kaiparowits Plateau, to the wonders of the Escalante Canyons, the Monument’s size, resources, and remote character provide extraordinary opportunities for scientific research and exploration. Its spectacular scenery of other-worldly landforms, outrageous combinations of colors, vegetation that ranges from ponderosa forests to lush riparian corridors, and light that is forever changing, provides artists with limitless inspiration and material.

Applications for the May Photography Artist-in-Residence Program are due February 12, 2017.

Hey, I’m having an exhibit at the Judy Ferrara gallery in Three Oaks, Michigan, October 9 from 6 to 9 PM. It’s at 16 South Elm St. in Three Oaks. I’ll be there (and Jenni too) so if you live in the area please come see me and all the plein air painting I’ve been doing for the last several weeks in Michigan, as well as on the road, paintings from New York City and from my recent camping trip out in Escalante, Utah. The pics are a few recent pieces, plus some scenes of my plein air escapades of late. #escalantecanyonsartfestival #dailypainting #dailypaintings #artcollector #pleinair #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #pleinairpainting #pleinairpaintings #pleinairart #outdoorpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #impressionism #paintingfromlife #plein_air_life #utah #utahpleinair #pleinairutah #gsenm #grandstaircase #escalante #burrtrail #desertsouthwest #beutahful #utahisbeautiful (at Three Oaks, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvXbINlOMe/?utm_medium=tumblr
