Papel de Parede de Escalante River

Escalante River winds its way through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, slowly and relentlessly cutting through eons of rock one particle at a time. The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument contains 1.9 million acres (7,571 km²) of land in southern Utah, the United States. There are three main regions: the Grand Staircase, the Kaiparowits Plateau, and the Canyons of the Escalante. President Bill Clinton designated the area as a U.S. National Monument in 1996 using his authority under the Antiquities Act.
