Overview

Hype:

The Escalante Interagency Visitor Center opened on April 11, 2005 and is staffed with Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service and Forest Service personnel. Ecology is the interpretive theme of the visitor center and their exhibits are the most popular attraction with insects, flowers, grasses and soils. They offer the visitor trip planning for hiking and exploring in the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and the Dixie National Forest. For the visitor just passing through, or the sightseer planning to stay and explore, we suggest scenic routes from the car. For the visitor just wanting to stop and relax, there are picnic tables outside perfect for a fresh air luncheon. Handicapped restrooms are available. The visitor center has a state of the art video system in the auditorium to show visitors introductory movies of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Dixie National Forest. The visitor center has a large selection of books, maps, gifts, childrens books and puzzles for sale.
