Unpaved/partially paved roads that run through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.Roads that also go through or are adjacent to Glen Canyon are highlighted.Do not take any of these roads if it is raining or snowing, or if rain or snow is forecasted.When water has pooled on the roads or muddy intimidating bogs block passage, turn around, staying on the road. Never drive off the road in an attempt to circumvent the blockage. Not only are you likely to get into more trouble off of the road, even damaging your vehicle, you will cause extensive damage to fragile native plant communities. Regulations do require that all vehicles must stay on designated roads.
