Some of the most striking scenery and the largest concentration of Anasazi ruins are situated in this twisting canyon system in southeastern Utah.
Grand Gulch pierces Cedar Mesa, declining 2,700 feet in 53 miles. The region is characterized by severe cliffs, and hundreds of tributaries and extensive cliff dwellings preserved by the dry desert air.
There is also abundant wildlife, including mountain lions, ringtail cats and raptors.
The Bureau of Land Management is dedicated to preserving the Anasazi ruins. Recreation permits and use fees are required.
Information can also be obtained at the BLM Ranger Station at the Kane Gulch trailhead, about four miles south of Route 95 on Route 261 or at the Bureau of Land Management Monticello Field Office in Monticello.
