Grand Staircase Backcountry, Canyon and Mesa Magic
Southern Utah’s famously beautiful canyon country includes some of the most unusual landscapes on Earth. A few miles north of the Arizona line, explore one of the most remote little-known sections of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument - a colorful and rugged world of deep canyons, high mesas, arches, sand and slickrock punctuated by twisted junipers and big vistas. Hackberry Canyon and a little-known section of the upper Paria River are within this wild and magnificent area.
Warm sunny days with cool to chilly nights are typical, but one must be prepared for brief spring storms that occasionally water the high desert. Spring wildflowers are blooming, and most of this fairly strenuous trip is off-trail. The trip base is Cedar City, Utah. This trip is offered only in even-numbered years.
