Arches & Canyons Without the Crowds

Devil’s Garden

We were worried, being in this popular area, in Utah, for Labor Day weekend, that the crowds would be intense. The campground we are staying in is full, but there are only 22 campsites so the crowds we worried about are in the neighboring National Parks, not here at Grand Staircase National Monument.  Because Mark and I visited Zion, Bryce Canyon and Arches National Parks a few years ago we haven’t  felt  pressured to revisit those parks and have enjoyed some of the lesser known gems in this area. The Grand Staircase is a series of colorful cliffs that extend north from the north rim of the Grand Canyon to Bryce Canyon. It covers 1.9 million acres and has sandstone canyons, plateaus, arches and unique rock formations. What it doesn’t have are crowds!
