FEATURED OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument

Just south of St George, Utah lies one of the most scenic and remote areas in the US - the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument.  It covers a vast area by itself, but it is seamlessly connected to both the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Grand Canyon National Park. Combined, there are thousands of miles of off pavement roads to explore.

 

Approximately 100 miles south of St. George you will find the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.   Be prepared, however, for very remote and sometimes difficult conditions, but the rewards are some of the most spectacular views and wilderness that can be found anywhere.
