You literally can spend a week here and go a different direction every day. Below is information on some of the other world class attractions beside Bryce Canyon National Park that are in close proximity to our bed and breakfast.

Grand Staircase -
The Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument begins right next to the Bryce Canyon Livery Bed and Breakfast and is a very unique region of canyons, arches, plateaus and cliffs. This area, which comprises 1.7 million acres, was designated a
National Monument just recently in 1996 and is considered to be one of the last explored areas of the continental United States.

Bryce Canyon National Park lies to the south and west of the monument;
Capitol Reef National Park is to the North and
Glen Canyon National Recreation area (Lake Powell) is to the East. Scenic Highway 12, one of the top-ten scenic byways in America (Car & Driver Magazine) passes through the Grand Staircase and is the major access road for the monument.
Various Native American Indians and their dwellings have inhabited this area for nearly 2,000 years, writings and even their food storage areas are still visible in the cliffs and canyons of this region. In 1776 Father Silvestre Velez de Escalante explored the region and had great difficulty finding a way to cross the Colorado River because of the maze of deep canyons and rivers. One hundred years later John Wesley Powell did significant research along the Colorado River and during that time frame many pioneers settled the valleys around Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase.
Within the Grand Staircase there are more trails and areas for exploration than can be experienced in a year, but we can suggest some excellent places to go such as: Coyote Gulch, Bull Valley Gorge and Devil's Garden, just to name a few. If at all possible, you'll want to spend at least three to five days in this area, more if you can spare the time. Whether you want to experience, scenic overlooks, slot canyons, ancient Indian pictographs and petroglyphs, waterfalls, rivers, mountains, forest or wildlife, you find it is all here in and around the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. |
