Glen Canyon National Recreation Area holds claim to the Escalante River’s canyons. Many think Glen Canyon NRA is all, and only about Lake Powell. They would be mistaken. There are several excellent high desert hiking opportunities within the Canyons of the Escalante that are accessible from the small southwest Utah towns of Boulder and Escalante. In order to see and experience the most incredible places on the most amazing subdistrict in Glen Canyon, an overnight backpacking trip is in order. Pack your water filter and bring your sandals—the canyons are calling!.
