In Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, every cliff face, canyon wall, and cultural site tells a story. The steps of stone tell the stories of time itself, woven through the land. 

Grand Staircase is a place where stories converge, from the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land for generations, carrying forward traditions of resilience, connection, and care, to the new stories unfolding each day as visitors encounter its wonder for the first time.

But these stories are fragile.

Recent attempts to roll back protections for public lands remind us how fragile Grand Staircase’s future is. Growing visitation, climate pressures, and threats to public lands put this remarkable landscape at risk. Without strong advocacy and on-the-ground stewardship, these stones and stories could erode faster than we can protect them.

That’s why your support matters. We invite you to join us in preserving the stone and stories that are meaningful to us all. With your gift today, you will:

• Support Trail Ambassadors educating visitors on safe, respectful visitation
• Advance conservation, including invasive species removal and vital native seed collection
• Protect cultural sites and resources that connect us to past and future generations

The story of Grand Staircase is still being written. With your support, it can be one of protection, care, and enduring wonder.
