UT_Cannonville Visitor Center (Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument) Accessibility Features

The Center has 2 accessible paved parking spots next to the cement path leading up to the main building. There are 7 other paved parking spots in this area and additional spots on the east side of the Center, along the road. The main entrance to the building has a ramp for easy access.  

The concrete path leading to the Center’s entrance takes users by a covered kiosk with information about the National Monument. There are other interpretive signs farther up the path, along with a kiosk displaying safety and weather information and signs inside the building. All of these are at a height appropriate for visitors using mobility devices.

The slope of the cement path leading past the shaded kiosk and other displays to the Visitor Center entrance slightly exceeds 5 percent. This may cause challenges for visitors who propel themselves in non-motorized wheelchairs.

The Center has 2 gender-specific restrooms with flush toilets and a button that allows users to open the doors automatically. The restrooms each have sinks and 1 accessible stall.

Accessible drinking water is available via a drinking fountain on an exterior wall near the restroom entrance.

The Visitor Center has a small patio area with a non-accessible picnic table that is down three steps. Visitors who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices can access the patio along the concrete path leading away from the Visitor Center.
