Great place to go for information about the canyons or to get a hiking permit! Staff were very friendly and gave us maps with locations and landmarks marked, along with weather information.

I've been lurking around in the Escalante Canyons for over 30 years, and can never get enough of this country, which is why I moved to Teasdale, 70 mile north near Capitol Reef NP, when I retired.
