KANAB, Utah (Aug. 28, 2024) - The BLM initially hoped to be opened for the Labor Day weekend; due to unforeseen circumstances the Calf Creek Recreation Site will continue to be closed through the holiday weekend as construction continues. We appreciate the public’s patience during this time. Updates and alerts will continue to be provided via social media and the Monument webpage.
For recreation alternatives: Please visit the Lower Calf Creek Falls Alternative Hikes Points of Interest brochure and the Lower Calf Creek Falls Alternatives for Camping brochure.

The Escalante Interagency Visitor Center is one of four visitor centers in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, each with a different theme. Tucked away in the heart of Escalante, Utah, this visitor center is packed with information about the local geology and ecosystem of nearly one-million acres that encompass the Monument.
The friendly and knowledgeable staff have up-to-date information on road conditions and hiking trails that will help visitors maximize their enjoyment when visiting the area. The visitor center also provides information for enjoying and exploring the Dixie National Forest, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Opened to the public in 2005, the center is one of the Department of Interior's first Gold LEED-rated facilities, and is staffed with personnel from the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service and Forest Service.
