Cottonwood Canyon Road Utah Across the Grand Escalante Staircase National Monument (3 images)

Cottonwood Canyon Road is a 42 mile 4-wheel drive road that runs along the Paria River in southern Utah. Traversing most of the Grand Ecalante Staircase National Monument, the landscape changes with the different levels of the staircase. Grovesnor's Arch caps off a journey through a land of changing formations and colors. And it was fun to drive, too!
