Southern Utah is a vast area of sandstone canyons, plateaus, unique rock formations, rivers, and cliffs.
I wish to reinerate the importance of notifying the athorities of your whereabouts in much of this area. If you are doing side roads or hiking and have a problem, there's not much help readily available.
If driving Scenic Byway 12, stop at the Interagency Visitor Center in Escalante (435-826-5499) or at the Cannonville Visitor Center (435-679-8981). Call for current information, road conditions, maps, hiking information, etc.
• The area is hot in the summer, so plan accordingly, carry water, wear a hat and use sunscreen.
• Many of the roads inside the monument are dirt and may become impassable when wet. Some roads require high clearance or 4-wheel drive vehicles.
• Remember, there are no services available in much of southern Utah where tourist wish to roam. Have plenty of gasoline in your vehicle, and take food, water, and emergency supplies with you.
