Escalante and hiking go in the same sentence often since there are so many hiking opportunities in the Escalante, Utah area. Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument’s buttes, mesas, arches, pinnacles and spires attract many hikers every year to traverse trails such as Devils Garden, the Escalante River Gorge and numerous slot canyons, including Spooky Gulch, Peek-a-boo Gulch and Brimstone Gulch. One of the Escalante area’s most popular hiking trails is Lower Calf Creek Falls in the BLM’s Calf Creek Recreation Area.
